Damage to a Pharmacy and Drug Integrity

(1)

If a pharmacy prescription department sustains damage, whether by flood or otherwise, the entire drug inventory, including any prescriptions that are awaiting pickup, is unfit for dispensing, shall be classified as adulterated and must be destroyed unless, in the pharmacist’s professional judgment, any items are deemed safe for dispensing. Any incident of this nature must be reported to the Board within three working days.

(2)

If a pharmacy loses power that affects temperature or humidity controls such that USP standards for proper storage of drugs have been violated, such drugs shall be classified as adulterated and may not be dispensed.
NOTE: for those drugs labeled for storage at “controlled room temperature,” the acceptable range of temperature is 68° to 77°F with allowances for brief deviations between 59° to 86°F.

(3)

Controlled substances damaged, lost or stolen shall be documented and reported to the DEA and the Board on DEA Form 41 or DEA Form 106 as appropriate.

(4)

A pharmacy that is required to temporarily close or relocate due to an emergency must report this event to the Board within three working days.
