Is RxPost Compliant with California State and Federal Regulations?

Yes!

Ensuring Pharmacy to pharmacy compliance is important to eliminate the potential for internal problems that may lead to state or federal investigations. RxPost places utmost importance on ensuring our customers are meeting pharmacy to pharmacy compliance.

RxPost is based in California and currently only services independent pharmacies within the state. California state law allows for pharmacy-to-pharmacy transfers, permitted when purchasing for specific patient needs. To be compliant when buying a product from another pharmacy, you simply need to write your patient’s name on your printed copy of the invoice and store it for your records. As a seller, you do not need to take any additional steps.

The Law for Pharmacy to Pharmacy Compliance in California

In accordance with California State Law: 4119.5. Transfer or Repackaging Dangerous Drugs by Pharmacy (a) A pharmacy can transfer a reasonable supply of dangerous drugs to another pharmacy. (b) A pharmacy may repackage and furnish to a prescriber a reasonable quantity of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices for prescriber office use. And in accordance with Federal Law: Section 582(d)(1)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act states that “a dispenser . . . prior to, or at the time of, each transaction in which the dispenser transfers ownership of a product (but not including dispensing to a patient or returns) shall provide the subsequent owner with transaction history, transaction information, and a transaction statement for the product, except that the requirements of this clause shall not apply to sales by a dispenser to another dispenser to fulfill a specific patient need.” Section 581(19) of the FD&C Act defines “specific patient need” as the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another to fill a prescription for an identified patient. Section 581(19) further states that this term does not include the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another for the purpose of increasing or replenishing stock in anticipation of a potential need.
