PHARMACY TECHNICIANS IN OHIO

(02/10/2005)

 

The Ohio State Board of Pharmacy does not license or certify Pharmacy Tech­ni­cians.  There is no legal requirement to be licensed or certified as a Phar­macy Technician in the state of Ohio.

 

Rule 4729-5-25 of the Ohio Administrative Code addresses the dispensing of drugs and compounding of prescriptions.  It states that a person, not a phar­ma­cist or intern under the personal supervision of a pharmacist, may assist a pharmacist in the com­pounding of prescriptions and dispensing of drugs.  It further states that this person, who is not a pharmacist or pharmacy intern under the personal supervision of a phar­macist, may not engage in any pro­ce­dure requiring professional judgment and that the system of drug dis­tri­bu­tion must provide exact control and assign immediate respon­si­bil­ity only to a phar­ma­cist accountable at every point in the system between the receipt of the order for a drug and final delivery for administration or use by the patient.  You can find this rule on the Board's Web site (www.pharmacy.ohio.gov).  Click on "Laws & Rules", then click on "Administrative Code Rules", then click on the rule number.
