Pharmacy Practice Act

Illinois · Professions, Occupations, and Business Operations · §§ 225-85-1 to 225-85-9-7 · 96 sections

Overview

The act regulates the practice of pharmacy and the distribution of drugs, establishing licensing and permit requirements for pharmacies, wholesale drug distributors, out-of-state and specialty pharmacies, and nuclear pharmacy operations, together with minimum operating standards and duties covering dispensing, labeling, recordkeeping, and notification of significant events. It vests a regulatory board with rulemaking authority and with power to inspect records, investigate applicants and licensees, and refuse, limit, suspend, or revoke licenses, and it prescribes penalties for violations along with a duty to prosecute them. It also authorizes prescribers and pharmacists to supply certain emergency medications for use in schools and extends liability protection for doing so, governs the sale of listed poisons, sets out audit rights and an appeals process for pharmacies subject to review, and requires registration and oversight of prescription discount program administrators.
