Ohio Board Revised Transfer Rule to Previous Language
Originally published in the May 2011 Ohio State Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
On January 1, 2011, the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy changed its transfer rule (4729-5-24) to limit the number of transfers on every prescription to one transfer during the life of the prescription. However, the Board, at its March 2011 meeting, decided to reverse that decision and put the transfer rule back to its previous language. The revised rule showing the language as it existed before the January 1, 2011 change has been filed. The copy of the refiled rule is available on the Board’s Web site under “What’s New,” as is the Notice of the Public Hearing. Assuming that there are no corrections or changes as a result of the public hearing, the Board will probably act to finalize the change at its June meeting. In the meantime, knowing that this change back to the previous language is being implemented, the Board communicated to Ohio pharmacists to continue using good judgment and taking care of the needs of the patients despite the fact that the one transfer rule is still on the books.
