  • The client has the option to choose an in-person visit rather than telemedicine service.
  • Subject to FDA regulations and AMDUCA provisions regarding extra label drugs, veterinarians should give careful consideration to prescribing any medications, especially antimicrobials, but they may prescribe after establishing a virtual VCPR based upon their professional judgment with the following conditions.
  • Prescriptions based on a virtual VCPR should be issued initially for no more than 30 days, and may not be renewed for more than 30 days without an additional virtual or in-person examination.
  • A prescription renewed once and based upon only virtual examinations may not be renewed again without an in-person examination.
  • An in-person examination is required for controlled substance prescriptions, except for limited dosage deemed essential by the veterinarian to maintain an animal’s safety during transport to a clinic for in-person examination.
