Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy From Inspector's --Regarding Providing Filled Prescriptions to Patients in Other States

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.
