Missouri News: Important Notice for Internet Pharmacies
Published in the August 2009 Missouri Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
In 2008, the United States Congress enacted the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act, which amended the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) by adding several new provisions to prevent the illegal distribution of controlled substances by means of the Internet. New Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations implementing the Ryan Haight Act went into effect on Monday, April 13, 2009. The new regulations impose additional requirements on pharmacies conducting or offering designated Internet pharmacy services. The full text of the new regulations and additional compliance information may be found at www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/pressrel/pr041309.html. All Missouri licensed pharmacies offering Internet services are encouraged to review the regulations to ensure compliance with federal law.
