I just found this and it is very interesting

California passed a similar law that took effect in April 2016 and declares pharmacists to be health care providers. The law further expands pharmacists’ scope of practice by not only allowing them to prescribe hormonal contraceptives to any age group, but also permitting them to use their skills in many more ways.

Under California’s law, pharmacists are able to initiate certain prescriptions, as well as provide clinical advice to their patients. Other provisions permit pharmacists to:
· Prescribe nicotine replacement therapy, which normally requires a prescription from a physician.
· Prescribe medications for travel health purposes, such as scopolamine patches and promethazine.
· Mandate tests to monitor and maintain the efficacy and toxicity of drug therapies for patients with comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
