Observations and Notes from the South Dakota State Board of Pharmacy Inspectors


Notes from the Inspectors
The following remarks are observations and comments from the Board’s inspectors.
♦ If you are maintaining Zostavax®
 in your inventory,
please ensure that you are recording the freezer
temperature on a daily basis.
♦ Immunization certificates should be prominently
displayed for the public view.
♦ Due to the increased number of internal and external
diversions, the Board is observing more pharmacies installing
security/camera systems. The Board
highly encourages this!
♦ The Board is beginning to observe more audits
of controlled substances (CS) by pharmacies. The
Board recommends each pharmacy conduct a minimum of one audit per
month on a Schedule III or
Schedule IV CS. Some pharmacies are doing more
than one per month. Keep up the good work!
