[style=font-family: arial]Question from doctor:
[/style][style=color:#1D2129]Can I use EMPOWER pharmacy in Houston to get testosterone to someone in NYC legally? For some reason there you need a prescription monthly as they don't allow refills and it is quite cumbersome to the patient.
[/style][style=font-family: arial]Answer:
Unless you're located and practicing in NY, then you don't have to abide by NY's testosterone prescribing regulations. You can write for up to a 6 month supply. If you're a prescriber located in NY then you have to follow the below regulation:[/style]
[style=font-family: arial](d)(1) A practitioner may issue a prescription for up to a three month supply of a controlled substance, including chorionic gonadotropin, or up to a six month supply of an anabolic steroid if used in accordance with the directions for use, provided that the prescription has been issued for the treatment of: (vi) hormone deficiency states in males, gynecologic conditions that are responsive to treatment with anabolic steroids or chorionic gonadotropin, metastatic breast cancer in women, anemia and angioedema, designated as code F.[/style]
