A federal regulation does not trump a federal law. The law requiring things to be dispensed only on the order of a physician is a federal law. Now, it is possible that the law that authorizes the FAA also creates an exemption to the Food & Drug Act (or whatever it's called), but the FAA itself cannot override a law. The regulation requiring airliners to carry a medical kit which includes certain prescription drugs is not in conflict with the Food & Drug act. You're discussing two different issues. One is whether or not the epinephrine can be legally carried in the medical kit of a certificated airliner. It can be, and is. Two is the process under which the epinephrine gets used. There are a variety of personnel authorized to administer regulated drugs without having a prescription. Physicians are certainly on that list. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

It's not difficult to obtain such an order, but without it, they can't do it legally. The law says that the medication may not be dispensed without the order of a physician. Dispensed does not mean "used or administered", it means "sold or delivered by a pharmacy or drug distributor or manufacturer". -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net http://www.hercules-390.org (Yes, that's me!)

I agree that the regulation cannot waive the law, but I don't believe that these emergency kits violate any law. If there is some legal requirement for a physician to have a role in the stocking of the kit, I'd guess that requirement would be met by running the paper through the airline medical department. My understanding is that the kit (the one with the restricted stuff in it) is for use only by medical professionals. At least that's what I've read in medical literature.

I didn't say the kits violated the law. I just said that they needed a doctor's order to obtain. I'm certain the airline has such an order from a doctor in its inhouse medical department, or other physician. That's all I've been saying. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net http://www.hercules-390.org (Yes, that's me!)

It is legal to carry and possess prescription drugs in certain contexts, but that is distinct from the authority to dispense or administer them. Two is the process under which the epinephrine gets used. There are a variety of personnel authorized to administer regulated drugs without having a prescription. Physicians are certainly on that list. Where can I find this list? |

Drug manufacturers deliver drugs all the time to pharmacies and they do this without prescriptions. |

The FAA didn't pull 121.803 out of their butt. Congress provided them with stautory authority in some manner. |
