A pharmacist shall report to the Texas Department of Health any unusual or increased prescription rates, unusual types of prescriptions, or unusual trends in pharmacy visits that may be caused by bioterrorism, epidemic or pandemic disease, or novel and highly fatal infectious agents or biological toxins that might pose a substantial risk of a significant number of human fatalities or incidents of permanent or long-term disability. Prescription-related events that require a report include:
(1) an unusual increase in the number of:
(A) prescriptions to treat respiratory or gastrointestinal complaints or fever;
(B) prescriptions for antibiotics; and
(C) requests for information on over-the-counter pharmaceuticals to treat respiratory or gastrointestinal complaints or fever; and
(2) any prescription that treats a disease that is relatively uncommon and has bioterrorism potential.
