Description

Requirements for prescribing oral contraceptives for minors; penalty. Requires any practitioner having prescriptive authority who prescribes an oral contraceptive to a minor without consent of a parent or legal guardian to review the minor's drug profile and health record, including any drugs and conditions being treated by other practitioners, to determine that such drug profile and health record do not include any current prescriptions for or indicate the likelihood of the issuance of prescriptions for controlled substances to the minor that are known to interact with oral contraceptives, such as, but not limited to, antibiotics. If the minor receiving a prescription for an oral contraceptive without a parent's or legal guardian's consent suffers an interaction, including, but not limited to, pregnancy, as a result of taking a prescription drug that the physician knew or should have known would be prescribed for her, the practitioner issuing the prescription for the oral contraceptive to the minor without a parent's or legal guardian's consent will be guilty, upon conviction, of a Class 6 felony.
