Under Delaware law, which professionals are authorized to write prescriptions?

In Delaware, the law permits licensed practitioners authorized to prescribe medications to write prescriptions. This includes a variety of healthcare professionals beyond just physicians, such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and dentists, among others, who have received specific training and licensure that grants them the authority to write prescriptions. This broad scope of authorized practitioners is intended to allow for comprehensive patient care and to enable various healthcare providers to address patients' medication needs effectively.

The focus on "licensed practitioners" emphasizes the importance of proper training and oversight in prescribing medications to ensure patient safety and adherence to legal standards. This reflects Delaware's commitment to allowing qualified professionals to participate in patient care, rather than limiting this authority narrowly to a single type of provider.
