RES. 2001-075  After a brief discussion of the proposed rules that were the subject of the Public Hearing held during the November Board meeting, Ms. Abele moved that the Board implement the following rules with an effective date of January 1, 2001 and that Board staff be instructed to file the rules with the appropriate State agencies as soon as possible.

 

4729-5-30  Manner of issuance of prescription.

 

(A)  A prescription, to be effective, must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by an individual prescriber acting in the usual course of his/her professional practice.  The responsibility for the proper prescribing is upon the prescriber, but a corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who dispenses the prescription.  An order purporting to be a prescription issued not in the usual course of professional treatment or in legitimate and authorized research is not a prescription and the person knowingly dispensing such a purported prescription, as well as the person issuing it, shall be subject to the penalties provided for violations of the provisions of law.

 

(B)  All prescriptions shall be dated as of and signed on the day when issued, and shall bear the full name and address of the patient.

 

(C)  All written prescriptions issued by a prescriber shall bear the full name and address of the prescriber and shall be manually signed by the prescriber in the same manner as he/she would sign a check or legal document.

 

(D)  An original signed prescription (for other than a schedule II controlled substance except as noted in paragraph (N) of this rule and rules 4729-17-09 and 4729-19-02 of the Administrative Code) may be transmitted as an "other means of communication" to a pharmacy by the use of a facsimile machine only by a prescriber or the prescriber's agent.  Such a facsimile shall only be valid as a prescription if a system is in place that will allow the pharmacist to maintain the facsimile as a part of the prescription record including the positive identification of the prescriber and his/her agent as well as positive identification of the origin of the facsimile.  The pharmacist must record the prescription in writing pursuant to section 4729.37 of the Revised Code or store the facsimile copy in such a manner that will allow retention of the prescription record for three years from the date of the last transaction.  The original signed prescription from which the facsimile is produced shall not be issued to the patient.  The original signed prescription must remain with the patient’s records at the prescriber’s office or the institutional facility where it was issued.  If a board-approved electronic prescription transmission system is used to fax the prescription, the computer data must be retained for a period of three years at the prescriber's office.  A facsimile of a prescription received by a pharmacy in any manner other than transmission directly from the prescriber or the prescriber’s agent shall not be considered a valid prescription, except as a copy of a prescription pursuant to rule 4729-5-24 of the Administrative Code.

 

(E)  All prescriptions shall specify the number of times or the period of time for which the prescription may be refilled.  A prescription marked "Refill P.R.N." or some similar designation is not considered a valid refill authorization.

 

(F)  Prescriptions for dangerous drugs may not be dispensed for the first time beyond six months from the date of issuance by a prescriber.

 

(G)  Prescriptions for dangerous drugs and controlled substances in schedule V may not be authorized for refill beyond one year from the date of issuance.  Prescriptions for controlled substances in schedules III and IV shall be authorized for refill only as permitted by section 3719.05 of the Revised Code.  Prescriptions for controlled substances in schedule II may not be refilled.

 

(H)  A prescription may be refilled only as expressly authorized by the prescriber, either in writing or orally.  If no such authorization is given, the prescription may not be refilled except in accordance with section 4729.281 of the Revised Code.

 

(I)  The drug(s) in a compounded prescription or drug product shall be identified by the product trade name or generic name.

 

(J)  No prescription shall be coded in such a manner that it cannot be dispensed by any pharmacy of the patient's choice.  A "coded prescription" is one which THAT bears letters, numbers, words or symbols, or any other device used in lieu of the name, quantity, strength and directions for its use, other than those normal letters, numbers, words, symbols, or other media recognized by the profession of pharmacy as a means of conveying information by prescription.  No symbol, word, or any other device shall be used in lieu of the name of said preparation.

 

(K)  (1)  The agent of a prescriber who transfers a facsimile of THE PRESCRIBER'S AUTHORIZATION FOR an original prescription or transmits an oral prescription or authorization of a refill for a dangerous drug must identify themselves HIMSELF/HERSELF by full name and the pharmacist shall make a record of the prescriber's agent on the original prescription and, if used, on the alternate system of recordkeeping.  A pharmacist who modifies a patient's drug therapy, pursuant to a consult agreement, must personally transmit the facsimile or oral order to another pharmacist, if the drug is not dispensed by the pharmacist who modified the drug order.

 

(2)  A LICENSED PHARMACY INTERN MAY RECEIVE TELEPHONE AUTHORIZATION OF AN ORAL ORIGINAL PRESCRIPTION OR A REFILL FROM A PRESCRIBER OR THE PRESCRIBER'S AGENT PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING:

 

(a)  THE PHARMACIST ON DUTY WHO IS SUPERVISING THE ACTIVITY OF THE INTERN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY OF THE PRESCRIPTION.

 

(b)  THE PHARMACIST ON DUTY WHO IS SUPERVISING THE ACTIVITY OF THE INTERN WILL DETERMINE IF THE INTERN IS COMPETENT TO RECEIVE TELEPHONE PRESCRIPTIONS.

 

(c)  THE SUPERVISING PHARMACIST MUST BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSS THE PRESCRIPTION WITH THE CALLER.

 

(d)  THE INTERN SHALL IMMEDIATELY REDUCE THE PRESCRIPTION TO WRITING AND SHALL REVIEW THE PRESCRIPTION WITH THE SUPERVISING PHARMACIST.  PRIOR TO DISPENSING, POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF THE INTERN AND THE SUPERVISING PHARMACIST SHALL BE MADE ON THE PRESCRIPTION TO IDENTIFY THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE ORAL ORDER.

 

(L)  When forms are used that create multiple copies of a prescription issued to a patient by a prescriber, the original prescription which THAT also bears the actual signature of the prescriber must be issued to the patient for dispensing by a pharmacist.

 

(M)  A pharmacist may accept, without further verification of the prescriber’s identity required, a prescription that has been transmitted by means of a board-approved automated paperless system.  The system shall require positive identification of the prescriber as defined in rule 4729-5-01 of the Administrative Code as well as the full name of any authorized agent of the prescriber who transmits the prescription.

 

(N)  A schedule II controlled substance prescription for a narcotic substance issued for a patient enrolled in a hospice may be transmitted by the prescriber or the prescriber's agent to the pharmacy by facsimile.  The original prescription must indicate that the patient is a hospice patient.  The facsimile transmission must meet all of the requirements in paragraph (D) of this rule for such a prescription.

 

(O)  When a pharmacist, acting as an agent of the physician, modifies a patient's drug therapy pursuant to a consult agreement, the pharmacist must comply with this rule in the same manner as a prescriber and include the name of the physician who originally prescribed the drug and sign the pharmacist's full name.

 

(P)  A prescription orally transmitted by telephone to a pharmacy by a prescriber or the prescriber's agent may be placed on a recording device at the pharmacy if the pharmacist is unavailable.  The prescriber or prescriber's agent must provide his/her complete name.  The pharmacist must remove the prescription from the recorder and reduce it to writing.  The pharmacist is responsible for assuring the validity of the prescription removed from the recorder.

(3)     Sue G. Gratz did, on or before April 22, 1997, manufacture, sell, hold for sale, or deliver a drug that was adulterated or misbranded, to wit: Sue G. Gratz and/or Stanley Scarbrough compounded or manufactured the following drugs which were labeled with false and misleading information:

 

(a)     Colloidal Silver Solution: The product is labeled without validation as a “Super Antibiotic” and as an “Antiseptic/Antibiotic”.  The contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The strength was not initially listed on the label, but currently is listed as 3-5ppm.  5ppm, or 15mcgm silver/tsp. without documentation or validation; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  There are no warning instructions on label.  Initially no expiration date assigned, then given 1 year expiration date, and finally a 3 month expiration date.  The expiration dates were assigned arbitrarily. (Log present)

(b)     Met-Fuel capsules, all combinations: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(c)     DHEA sublingual tablets, all strengths: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year arbitrarily assigned.

(d)     DHEA capsules, all strengths: Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  Expiration dates are arbitrarily assigned.

(e)     ADD Formula, all combinations: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 3 to 6 months was arbitrarily assigned.  The name of ADD for the product falsely makes one conclude that it is for attention deficit disorder.

(f)      Chicken Collagen Solution: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has invalid and incomplete warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(g)     Creatine Monohydrate Powder: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  No expiration date was assigned.

(h)     Creatine Syrup: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  No warning instructions on label.  An expiration date of 23 months was arbitrarily assigned.

(i)      Scarbrough’s Diaper Rash Ointment: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 22 months arbitrarily assigned.

(j)      Poison Ivy Gel: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 2 years was arbitrarily assigned.

(k)     Co-Enzyme Q-10 60mg capsules: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(l)      Herbal Smoke Eliminator capsules: The label was without validation as a “Healthy and Energizing Herbal Synergism to Combat Smoking Habit and Effects”.  The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

 

Such conduct is in violation of Section 3715.52(A)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code and 21 USCA 331(b) of the United States Code.

 

(4)     Sue G. Gratz did, on or before April 22, 1997, sell, deliver, offer for sale, and/or hold for sale a new drug when not in accordance with Section 3715.65 of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: the following drugs were not tested and found to be safe under the conditions recommended or suggested in its labeling, and prior to selling the drug or offering it for sale, Sue G.

(c)     DHEA sublingual tablets, all strengths: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The con-tents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year arbitrarily assigned.

(d)     DHEA capsules, all strengths: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients were not listed on the label; however, this was corrected as of 4-22-97 inspection.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  Expiration dates are arbitrarily assigned.

(e)     ADD Formula, all combinations: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 3 to 6 months was arbitrarily assigned.  The name of ADD for the product falsely makes one conclude that it is for attention deficit disorder.

(f)      Chicken Collagen Solution: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has invalid and incomplete warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(k)     Co-Enzyme Q-10 60mg capsules: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(l)      Herbal Smoke Eliminator capsules: The label was without validation as a “Healthy and Energizing Herbal Synergism to Combat Smoking Habit and Effects”.  The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

 

Such conduct is in violation of Section 3715.65(A)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(5)     Sue G. Gratz did, on or about the following dates, fail to assign a new serial number to prescriptions that were not refillable, to wit: Sue G. Gratz filled the following prescriptions and, upon refilling the prescriptions with newly compounded drugs which were not generically equivalent, failed to assign a new serial number to the compounded drug and vice versa:

(6)     Sue G.

(7)     Sue G. Gratz did, from on or about June 21, 1996, through July 5, 1997, sell a Schedule V controlled substance without a prescription in an amount exceeding fifty times the bulk amount, but in an amount less than one hundred times that amount when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: throughout this time period Scarbrough Medical Arts Pharmacy made 161 individual sales of Met Fuel.  Sue G. Gratz made 68 of those sales for a total of 8,160 unit doses; and, on each occasion, Sue G. Gratz dispensed to each patient over 100 unit doses in a 30-day time period without a legitimate medical purpose.  Such conduct is not in accordance with Rule 4729-11-09 of the Ohio Administrative Code and, therefore, is in violation of Section 2925.03(A) of the Ohio Revised Code.

(9)     Sue G. Gratz did, on or about April 11, 1997, sell a Schedule V controlled substance without a prescription in an amount exceeding the bulk amount, but in an amount less than five times that amount when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: Sue G.

(3)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on or before April 22, 1997, manufacture, sell, hold for sale, or deliver a drug that was adulterated or misbranded, to wit: Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy compounded or manufactured the following drugs which were labeled with false and misleading information:

 

(a)     Colloidal Silver Solution: The product is labeled without validation as a “Super Antibiotic” and as an “Antiseptic/Antibiotic”.  The contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The strength was not initially listed on the label, but currently is listed as 3-5ppm.  5ppm, or 15mcgm silver/tsp. without documentation or validation; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  There are no warning instructions on label.  Initially no expiration date assigned, then given 1 year expiration date, and finally a 3 month expiration date.  The expiration dates were assigned arbitrarily. (Log present)

(b)     Met-Fuel capsules, all combinations: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(c)     DHEA sublingual tablets, all strengths: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year arbitrarily assigned.

(d)     DHEA capsules, all strengths: Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  Expiration dates are arbitrarily assigned. 

(e)     ADD Formula, all combinations: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 3 to 6 months was arbitrarily assigned.  The name of ADD for the product falsely makes one conclude that it is for attention deficit disorder.

(f)      Chicken Collagen Solution: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has invalid and incomplete warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(g)     Creatine Monohydrate Powder: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  No expiration date was assigned.

(h)     Creatine Syrup: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  No warning instructions on label.  An expiration date of 23 months was arbitrarily assigned.

(i)      Scarbrough’s Diaper Rash Ointment: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 22 months arbitrarily assigned.

(j)      Poison Ivy Gel: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 2 years was arbitrarily assigned.

(k)     Co-Enzyme Q-10 60mg capsules: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

(l)      Herbal Smoke Eliminator capsules: The label was without validation as a “Healthy and Energizing Herbal Synergism to Combat Smoking Habit and Effects”.  The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

 

Such conduct is in violation of Section 3715.52(A)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code and Section 331(b) of Title 21 of the United States Code.

 

(4)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on or before April 22, 1997, sell, deliver, offer for sale, and/or hold for sale a new drug when not in accordance with Section 3715.65 of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: the following drugs were not tested and found to be safe under the conditions recommended or suggested in its labeling, and prior to selling the drug or offering it for sale, Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy failed to file an application for new drugs with the director of agriculture:

 

(a)     Colloidal Silver Solution: The product is labeled without validation as a “Super Antibiotic” and as an “Antiseptic/Antibiotic”.  The contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  The strength was not initially listed on the label, but currently is listed as 3-5ppm.  5ppm, or 15mcgm silver/tsp. without documentation or validation; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  There are no warning instructions on label.  Initially no expiration date assigned, then given 1 year expiration date, and finally a 3 month expiration date.  The expiration dates were assigned arbitrarily.

(e)      ADD Formula, all combinations: The contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has no warning instructions.  An expiration date of 3 to 6 months was arbitrarily assigned.  The name of ADD for the product falsely makes one conclude that it is for attention deficit disorder.

(f)      Chicken Collagen Solution: The complete contents of active and inactive ingredients are not listed on the label.  Contents listed are invalid due to lack of end product testing; therefore, there is no basis for suggested use or dose on label.  The label has invalid and incomplete warning instructions.  An expiration date of 1 year was arbitrarily assigned.

Such conduct is in violation of Section 3715.65(A)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(5)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on and prior to May 4, 1998, fail to meet the minimum standards for compounding parenteral or sterile product prescriptions, to wit: the pharmacy’s clean room and/or laminar flow hood had never been certified; thus, all drugs compounded or manufactured in the pharmacy’s laminar flow hood were adulterated.  Such conduct is in violation of Rule 4729-19-04 of the Ohio Administrative Code and Section 3715.63 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(6)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on or about the following dates, fail to assign a new serial number to prescriptions that were not refillable, to wit: Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy filled the following prescriptions and, upon refilling the prescriptions with newly compounded drugs which were not generically equivalent, failed to assign a new serial number to the compounded drug and vice versa:

(7)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, from on or about June 21, 1996, through June 5, 1997, sell, deliver, offer for sale, and/or hold for sale a new drug when not in accordance with Section 3715.65 of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: on 213 separate occasions, Stanley Shaw Scarbrough or someone under his supervision at Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy sold one of the following new drugs prior to being tested and found to be safe under the conditions recommended or suggested in its labeling, and prior to selling the drug or offering it for sale, Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy failed to file an application for new drugs with the director of agriculture.

(8)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on or about July 11, 1997, fail to perform prospective drug utilization review and patient counseling, to wit: the pharmacy, when dispensing Extra Strength Met-Fuel to a patient, failed to review the log book for over-utilization, incorrect drug dosage and duration of drug treatment, and misuse; and pharmacists at Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy failed to offer, and maintain records of, patient counseling.  Such conduct is in violation of Rules 4729-5-20 and 4729-5-22 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(9)     Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, on or about July 11, 1997, sell a schedule V controlled substance product without a prescription, failing to require patient identification and failing to maintain a record of transaction for the sale, to wit: the pharmacy sold Extra Strength Met-Fuel to a patient and failed to require identification to check for the patient’s age, name, address and signature, and failed to maintain a record of the transaction.  Such conduct is in violation of Rule 4729-11-09 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(10)   Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, from on or about June 21, 1996, through July 5, 1997, sell a schedule V controlled substance without a prescrip-tion in an amount exceeding one hundred times the bulk amount when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: throughout this time period the pharmacy made 161 individual sales of Met Fuel for a total of 19,500 unit doses; and, on each occasion, the pharmacy dispensed to each patient over 100 unit doses in a 30-day time period without a legitimate medical purpose.  Such conduct is not in accordance with Rule 4729-11-09 of the Ohio Administrative Code and, therefore, is in violation of Section 2925.03(A) of the Ohio Revised Code.

(13)   Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy did, prior to May 4, 1998, permit techni-cians to compound prescriptions, to wit: the pharmacy allowed technicians to compound drugs without the supervision of a pharmacist, placing them in a position that requires professional judgment.  The products were never checked for error, weight and content uniformity, drug absorption and/or sterility.  Further, pharmacists at Scarbroughs Medical Arts Pharmacy failed to perform the final check of the finished product.  The following list is an example of the drugs compounded in such a manner:
