A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT ANABOLIC STEROIDS MAY BE PRESCRIBED BY A LICENSED PHYSICIAN UNLESS THE DRUG MAY INJURE THE PATIENT OR BE ABUSED.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 90-91(k) reads as rewritten:
	"(k)  Any anabolic steroids, unless dispensed with a prescription by a registered pharmacist.  The term "anabolic steroid”means any material, compound, mixture, or preparation containing an anabolic steroid, including, but not limited to, the following:
1.	Methandrostenolone,
2.	Stanozolol,
3.	Ethylestrenol,
4.	Nandrolone phenpropionate,
5.	Nandrolone deconoate,
6.	Testosterne propionate, and
7.	Chorionic gonadotropin.
Provided, however, that an anabolic steroid may be prescribed, dispensed, or administered by a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina unless it is shown that the drug has harmed the patient or is being used for alteration of athletic prowess.”
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
