LeBas (HB 674) Act No. 168
New law defines "pharmacy-generated drug" as a drug made by a pharmacy.
Prior law required a pharmacist to be on duty in each pharmacy at all times.
New law retains prior law.
Prior law required the filling, compounding, and dispensing of prescriptions to be limited to
pharmacists and pharmacy technicians acting under the supervision of a pharmacist.
New law requires the filling, compounding, and dispensing of prescriptions, and the making
of pharmacy-generated drugs, to be accomplished in compliance with standards established
by the La. Board of Pharmacy by administrative rule. New law further requires the
performance of these activities to be limited to pharmacists and pharmacy interns, pharmacy
technicians, and pharmacy technician candidates acting under the supervision of a
pharmacist.
Effective August 1, 2013.
