State Pharmacy Regulations

Meaning

State Pharmacy Regulations are the body of laws and administrative rules enacted by individual state boards of pharmacy that govern the practice of pharmacy, including the compounding, dispensing, labeling, and record-keeping of prescription medications. These regulations ensure the quality and safety of all dispensed medications, particularly in the context of personalized hormone replacement therapy, by setting rigorous standards for facility cleanliness, ingredient sourcing, and pharmacist training.
