If a nurse practitioner or physician assistant at the free or charitable clinic dispenses only sample prescription drugs, must he/she register with the Board as a dispenser?
The Board does not interpret Rule .1703’s requirements to apply to a PA or NP who is engaged in traditional sampling – i.e., handing out, free of any charge (whether direct or indirect), starter doses or packets of prescription drug samples received from a prescription drug manufacturer in compliance with the Prescription Drug Marketing Act.
