The Minnesota Board of Pharmacy took the following
disciplinary action concerning a pharmacist between the
dates of April 11, 2013 and June 19, 2013.
Hins, Dennis D., License #112063. Mr Hins erroneously
dispensed methadone to a patient. The drug actually prescribed was methotrexate. He admitted that he was not
doing quality assurance as required by Minnesota Rules
6800.3950, Subp 4. He further admitted that he had not
developed a quality assurance policy, despite having been
instructed to do so during an earlier routine inspection.
Consequently, the Board adopted a stipulation and consent
order at its May 1, 2013 meeting, which reprimanded Mr
Hins, required him to pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$2,500, and required him to complete a continuing education course focusing on error prevention.
The Board took the following disciplinary actions concerning pharmacy technicians between the dates of April 11,
2013 and June 19, 2013.
Anderson, Michelle G., Registration #702905. Ms Anderson admitted that she stole several bottles of prescription
medications from her employer. As a result, she was
charged with felony theft in December 2012. Consequently,
at its May 1, 2013 meeting, the Board adopted a stipulation and consent order for the voluntary surrender of Ms
Anderson’s registration.
Sannes, Paige M., Registration #726105. From September
2010 through December 2011, Ms Sannes had multiple
charges and convictions for alcohol-related offenses in
North Dakota and Minnesota. As a result, her North
Dakota registration as a pre-pharmacy intern was placed
on conditional status in January 2012. The North Dakota
State Board of Pharmacy revoked her registration in July
2012 for failure to submit required reports. Ms Sannes
also pleaded guilty to shoplifting in July 2012. She failed
to fully disclose her convictions when registering with
the Minnesota Board as a pharmacy technician in August
2012. Consequently, at its May 1, 2013 meeting, the Board
adopted an order that reprimanded Ms Sannes and required
her to pay a $250 civil penalty. In addition, Ms Sannes
was required to enroll in the Health Professionals Services
Program (HPSP).
The Board took the following disciplinary action concerning a pharmacy between the dates of April 11, 2013 and June
19, 2013.
AlixaRx, License #263885. Representatives of AlixaRx admitted that personnel of the pharmacy compounded sterile products without proper training and that on at least one occasion, pharmacy technicians were working without proper
supervision because the pharmacy was out of compliance with
the allowed technician-to-pharmacist ratio. Consequently,
the Board adopted an order at its May 1, 2013 meeting that
reprimanded AlixaRx and imposed a civil penalty of $5,000.
