No. A prescribing provider needs to be an MD or DO. In some states, a nurse practitioner or physicianâs assistant can also prescribe, but never a pharmacist.
Nurse practitioners can also prescribe medications within limits. However, the prescribing of controlled substances may be tightly regulated or prohibited in some states. Depending on the jurisdiction, nurse practitioners may or may not be required to work under the supervision of a physician.
