Find the right official checkThe person and the pharmacy
Use the board for that profession.
Start with the type of licence the health professional gives you.
Medical doctor (MD)
The Arizona Medical Board provides MD licence details and written board decisions about a doctor’s licence.
Doctor with a DO licence
Doctors with a DO licence have their own Arizona board and doctor search.
Nurse practitioner
A nurse practitioner is a nurse trained for a wider range of patient care.
Use the Nursing Board’s record-check links to check both the nurse’s licence and their certificate for that extra work.
The certificate is called “advanced-practice”; prescribing medicine also needs board permission and must fit the nurse’s training.
Physician assistant (PA)
Arizona’s PA board offers a licence search for physician assistants.
The pharmacy sending the medicine
FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, links to state pharmacy records; choose Arizona to check the pharmacy name.
As of October 3, 2026, pharmacies based elsewhere need an Arizona permit to send medicines into this state.
They also need permission to operate where they are based.

- FDA: Compounding explained
What does compounding mean?
Read FDA’s explanation of made-to-order medicines and how they differ from medicines FDA has approved.
- FDA: Online medicine concerns
What is the concern with online products?
FDA explains problems with unapproved weight-loss products, labels and online services.
- FDA: Shortages and compounding
Does a shortage allow a pharmacy to make a copy?
FDA’s national shortage list, checked September 26, 2026, includes neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide.
A made-to-order copy is a pharmacy’s version of a medicine already sold as an approved product.
The national shortage rules do not allow copies merely because a pharmacy in your area has no stock.
Other limits on making copies still apply, including the need for a change that matters for a particular patient.
What are the remote-visit rules?
In Arizona, a video visit is one example of telehealth, which means care provided at a distance.
Arizona usually requires informed consent: you agree to this care after it is explained to you.
Your agreement may be spoken, written or electronic; spoken agreement must be recorded in your care record.
The health professional must decide whether the visit can meet your needs and follow the rules for exams and medicine orders.
Arizona telehealth registration lets some health professionals licensed in another state treat patients here from a distance.
They need a licence free of restrictions and must meet Arizona’s rules on past licence problems and insurance covering claims about their care.
Ask what licence or registration covers your visit. Use the licensing board links above to ask whether the person is allowed to treat you.
