Medical knowledge and Pharmaceutical knowledge is vast and overwhelming. It takes a "holistic viewpoint" to pull, seemingly, irrelevant facts together. I offer a viewpoint that attempts to connect these bits to arrive at coherence.
Not a pharmacy
3 Comments
When is a pharmacy NOT a pharmacy? In California that is.
If there is a website giving the address of a pharmacy but there IS no pharmacy at that address (there is actually a DIFFERENT pharmacy at that address)is this illegal or misleading?
If the Board of Pharmacy hasn't issued a license to the pharmacy listed on the Website but there IS a license issued to the pharmacy that is ACTUALLY at the address, is that OK?
If the address to which a chemical (drug) wholesaler delivers chemicals (drugs) for compounding is a RESIDENCE and NOT a pharmacy, is that legal?
Your thoughts are welcomed.

Except for KMiller's post, these comments are not related to the original content!?

The first 2 situations may have to do with DBA (Doing Business As). In the last example I don't know about California ... in Colorado ... bulk chemicals must be delivered to the registered entity. No compounding pharmacy would be approved at a residence so it would be illegal.

What? only in California I guess. Maybe Nancy Pelosi should answer that one. It all sounds illegal to me, or at best misleading and unethical.
