Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / November 2004Unprofessional Conduct of Board Inspectors
I have been cited by a Florida pharmacy inspector for not writing the patients address on prescriptions for CIII and CIV drugs. The patient's address is on the sticker on the back. I was told I had to re-write the address on the front of the Rxs. When I asked her for the specific law I am breaking she didn't return my phone call or emails. How can I lodge a complaint against state inspectors in Florida????? Call or write the State Board in Fla. I don't know about Florida law, but in Canada it clearly states in our Food and Drug Act that the patient's address MUST be written on the actual prescription to be legal, and that the computer generated hardcopy sticker doesn't count.

If not then the Pols were sleeping when that law was passed... ! Bob Griffiths Since writing my first post I have interviewed pharmacists working near me who have also had contact with the inspector from hell. As you know it is illegal to combine pills from 2 bottles into one bottle. The inspector thought she hit pay dirt when 2 dessicant containers were found in a bottle. Must of come from 2 containers, eh? The pharmacist had to call the police for witness while he cracked the seal every bottle in the pharmacy until at least a dozen bottles were found to contain 2 cannisters or more. This is what you get when the state saves money by training inspectors with only a high school education to become pharmacy inspectors. Texas and many other states absolutely forbid the hiring of inspectors who are not pharmacists. I will be adding more stories of atrocities to this list so everyone can see the package I am sending to the Board. the board has consistently enforced writing the information on the front of the RX as opposed to writing it on the back or having a sticker. Wasn't the original idea to have the doctor, not the pharmacist, write the patient's address on the address lines of the prescription? > the board has consistently enforced writing the information on the front of > the RX as opposed to writing it on the back or having a sticker. Texas does have compliance inspectors that are not pharmacists Brad > Since writing my first post I have interviewed pharmacists working > near me who have also had contact with the inspector from hell.
