New Ohio pharmacy rules to take effect in May - Ohio Capital Journal
New Ohio pharmacy rules effective May 2025 require stricter compliance with USP 795/797, e-prescribing for controlled substances, and enhanced PDMP checks. Independent and compounding pharmacies face significant operational changes.
