Law requiring Florida pharmacists to send drug information to state starts Thursday

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Dissent

Dara Kam reports:

More than two years after lawmakers created it, a statewide prescription drug database will go live Thursday, sort of.

Pharmacists and dispensing practitioners must begin entering data for more than 100 prescription drugs with potential for abuse into the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, or PDMP.
