§201 — Title 21 Food and Drugs | U.S. Code

Summary

In the United States consular districts in China, people who owe permanent allegiance to the United States must be licensed pharmacists to run or manage any place that sells, mixes, or gives out drugs, chemicals, poisons, or to fill doctors’ prescriptions. Owners or managers who owe permanent allegiance may not let anyone who is not a licensed pharmacist do those jobs, except as a helper working under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. If an owner needs to hire Chinese subjects to mix, fill, or sell medicines, they may do so only when at least two recognized and reputable medical doctors, or two pharmacists who are licensed under the same law and who owe permanent allegiance to the United States, certify that those Chinese subjects are at least 21 years old and have good character and ability.
