From the Inspector’s Desk
♦♦14.15. Pharmacies Providing Filled Prescriptions to
Patients in Other States: Oklahoma licensed pharmacies
that mail or ship filled prescriptions to patients
in other states must review the licensing requirements
of the state into which they are sending medications
in order to assure compliance with that state’s laws.
Nearly all states require that out-of-state pharmacies
shipping products into their state be licensed by the
state into which they are shipping. Many states also
require that the pharmacist-in-charge (PIC) be licensed
to practice pharmacy in that state. In addition, state
laws should be reviewed on a regular basis to determine
if there have been changes in licensing requirements.
Many states are implementing more stringent
regulations and rules regarding prescriptions shipped
across state lines.
