A pharmacist-in-charge designated pharmacist at the participating pharmacy shall inspect a donated prescription drug or medical supply to determine, to the extent reasonably possible, that the drug or supply is not adulterated or misbranded, is safe and suitable for dispensing, and is not ineligible. The pharmacist who inspects the drug or supply shall sign the donor form stating the above. If a participating pharmacy receives a drug or medical supply from another participating pharmacy, the receiving participating pharmacy does not need to reinspect the drug or supply when receiving a copy of the donor form with the inspection information. The transfer of the drug or supply from one participating pharmacy to another must be documented in both the receiving and the donating pharmacy.

After inspecting donated prescription drugs and medical supplies, the participating pharmacy must inventory and document the donation in the board’s program database.
