Question: 1 / 400

What is required for a topical medication prescription?

Prescribed by a dentist

Prescribed by a physical therapist

Prescribed by an MD

Topical medication is a type of medication that is applied to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. This type of medication is typically prescribed by a medical doctor (MD) as they are the most qualified to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Prescribing a topical medication requires the doctor to have knowledge of the patient's medical history and current health status, as well as potential drug interactions. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as a dentist, physical therapist, or over-the-counter purchase would not provide the necessary expertise and consideration for the patient's overall health in prescribing a topical medication.
