HB 1143 Prescription drug information.

Introduced by: Brian J. Moran | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Prescription drug information. Requires, as a condition of the counseling for any new prescription and in material for any refill, that the pharmacist inform the patient (in writing or orally) of the manufacturer's expiration date for the prescription when stored in an unopened manufacturer's package under appropriate conditions for the specific drug. Such statement must be qualified to note that such expiration date may not be an accurate measure of drug stability and effectiveness or serve as a suitable beyond-use date because drugs degrade differently under various circumstances of temperature, light, and exposure to air and that the conditions of storage, as well as the age of the drug, must be used to assess potential effectiveness.
