Prescription Drugs Fast Facts, Last Updated:09/06/2010 Both pharmacists and physicians are regulated professions in
most jurisdictions. A prescription as a communications mechanism
between them is also regulated and is a legal document. Legislation
may define what constitutes a prescription, the contents and format
of the prescription (including the size of the piece of paper - see
Exhibit C paragraph 10) and how prescriptions are handled and
stored by the pharmacist. Many jurisdictions will now allow faxed
or phone prescriptions containing the same information. Exhibit A
below illustrates the legal definition of a prescription. |
