Update on DQSA
The president signed the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) into
law on November 27, 2013. At this time, the South Carolina Department
of Labor, Licensing, & Regulation – Board of Pharmacy has not issued
any opinions. However, the Board has been tracking this legislation
since its introduction and is thoughtfully considering its application in
relation to South Carolina pharmacy law.
Board representatives participated in the Inter-Governmental Working
Meeting on Oversight of Compounding Pharmacies at Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) in Silver Spring, MD, in March 2014. The
Board is gathering information and will be analyzing how this legislation
affects the practice of pharmacy in South Carolina. This will include the
consideration of a memorandum of agreement between South Carolina
and FDA. Please look on the Board’s website for upcoming meeting
dates of the Board’s Compounding Committee where the legislation
will be discussed. The work of the Compounding Committee will be
presented to the full Board
