PRESCRIBER & PHARMACIST AUTONOMY
Clinical Judgment Belongs to Doctors and Pharmacists—Not Bureaucrats
The power to treat patients is being undermined by regulators and industry groups who want to
replace medical expertise with one-size-fits-all rules.Today, federal and state agencies are tightening restrictions on what doctors can prescribe and what pharmacists can compound—even when patients need something custom, and it’s working.
Instead of trusting the provider-patient relationship, policymakers are inserting rigid formularies, outlawing certain therapies, and pushing providers to abandon individualized care.
What’s Being Undermined
The doctor-patient relationship
Pharmacist discretion in custom compounding
Off-label and evidence-informed treatment
Practice innovation in personalized care
WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE
Medical professionals must be empowered—not micromanaged—to make the best choices for their patients. That means protecting clinical judgment, not regulating it away.
