New Missouri Law to Grant Board of Pharmacy Authority to Inspect Drugs in Inventory

The Missouri Board of Pharmacy will be allowed to test drugs in pharmacy inventories under a new law just signed by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon. Under the new law, the Board will have the authority to establish a program for testing drugs, including compounded drugs, held by licensees. Board personnel currently may enter and inspect premises that sell drugs or chemicals. The full text of the bill is available on the Web site of the Missouri Senate.
