§211 Preservation of originals of prescriptions compounded and copies thereof; inspection of prescriptions by consular officers; marking containers of drugs

Summary

Anyone, business, or corporation that owes permanent allegiance to the United States and owns or runs a drugstore or pharmacy must keep the original or a copy of every prescription they fill for at least three years, unless sections 207 or 208 say the original must be kept. At the doctor’s or patient’s request, they must give a correct copy. Prescriptions and certain sales records must be open to inspection by authorized U.S. consular officers in U.S. consular districts in China. In those consular districts, pharmacies must label every container with the drug name and how to use it.
