The Board of Pharmacy announces a notice to issue a temporary rule that would adopt regulations under 21 NCAC 46 to establish standards under which a pharmacist can administer long-acting injectable pharmaceuticals formulated to produce sustained release and gradual absorption. The rule also would establish recordkeeping requirements. A hearing is scheduled for August 2 by teleconference. Comments are due August 3.
