What is Georgia law regarding counseling?
Currently pharmacists are required to offer counseling on all new prescriptions. Pharmacists are required to use professional judgment regarding the offer to counsel on all refilled prescriptions. When using professional judgment regarding refilled prescriptions, pharmacists should consider any changes made to the original prescription or to the previously dispensed medication. These changes include but are not limited to color, shape, and size. The dispensing pharmacist is responsible for each dispensed prescription regardless if the patient was provided the offer of counseling.
