New Jersey § 45:14-57

§ 45:14-57.

a. In the event that a pharmacy prepares a prescription medication that is abandoned

by a patient, or a long-term care pharmacy does not dispense a prescription medication

to a patient in a long-term care facility, the medication may be re-dispensed by the

pharmacy in a manner consistent with regulations promulgated by the Board of Pharmacy,

provided that the medication was maintained under proper storage conditions to ensure

its integrity, and has remained under the exclusive control and custody of the pharmacy

and the patient's long-term care facility at all times. The medication shall not be dispensed to patients later than one year from the date

the medication was originally prepared for dispensing. A re-dispensed medication shall be marked with the same use-by date found on the

medication when it was originally prepared for dispensing. Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify dispensing requirements and

practices related to a prescription drug that can only be dispensed to a patient registered

with the manufacturer of that drug, in accordance with requirements established by

the federal Food and Drug Administration. b. For purposes of this section, a prescription medication shall be considered to

be abandoned when a prescription is prepared and made available for dispensing by

the pharmacy but is not dispensed to the patient for whom it was prepared within two

weeks.
