§ 4210. Authorized sales on written orders, records

• (a) Every physician, dentist, veterinarian, or other person who is licensed to administer,
  sell, dispense, or professionally use regulated drugs shall keep a record of such
  drugs received by him or her and a record of all such drugs administered, dispensed,
  or professionally used by him or her otherwise than by prescription, in accordance
  with subsection (d) of this section. It shall, however, be deemed a sufficient compliance
  with this subsection if any such person using small quantities of solutions or other
  preparations of such drugs for local application shall keep a record of the quantity,
  character, and potency of such solutions or other preparations purchased or made up
  by him or her, and of the dates when purchased or made up, without keeping a record
  of the amount of such solution or other preparation applied by him or her to individual
  patients. (b) Manufacturers and wholesalers shall keep records of all regulated drugs compounded,
  mixed, cultivated, grown, or by any other process produced or prepared, and of all
  such drugs received and disposed of by them in accordance with the provisions of subsection
  (d) of this section. (c) Every person who purchases for resale, or who sells preparations or regulated drugs
  exempted by regulation adopted under section 4204 of this title, shall keep a record showing the quantities and kinds thereof received and sold,
  or disposed of otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
  section. (d) The form and content of the records to be maintained under this section shall be prescribed
  by rule adopted by the Department of Health, after prior written notice to the Board
  of Pharmacy and after the Board of Pharmacy has had an opportunity to advise the Department
  of Health with respect to the form and substance of that rule and to recommend revisions
  thereof. The record of regulated drugs received shall in every case show the date
  of receipt, the name and address of the person from whom received, and the kind and
  quantity of drugs received, the kind and quantity of such drugs produced or removed
  from process of manufacture, and the date of such production or removal from process
  of manufacturer, and such other facts as the Department of Health may require. The
  record of all such drugs sold, administered, dispensed, or otherwise disposed of shall
  show the date of selling, administering, or dispensing, the name and address of the
  person to whom, or for whose use, or the owner and species of animal for which the
  drugs were sold, administered, or dispensed, and the kind and quantity of drugs and
  shall be signed by the person giving such order or the person’s duly authorized agent.
  Every such record shall be kept for a period of three years from the date of the transaction
  recorded, and shall be subject to inspection by a federal officer or an officer of
  this State or an agent thereof specifically authorized engaged in the enforcement
  of the federal drug laws or of this chapter. The keeping of a record required by or
  under the federal drug laws, containing substantially the same information as is specified
  above, shall constitute compliance with this section, except that every such record
  shall contain a detailed list of such drugs lost, destroyed, or stolen, if any, the
  kind and quantity of such drugs, and the date of the discovery of such loss, destruction,
  or theft. (Added 1967, No. 343 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. March 23, 1968; amended 2023, No. 53, § 108, eff. June 8, 2023.)
