PLEASE need HELP......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am planning to open a pharmacy soon and remodeling is done but got stuck in the process. PLEASE help me...
Here are a couple of thigns I need to get info about
1.Any suggestion on the software? I contacted pioneer rx and it looks ok but they DO NOT sell the software, they LEASE it. You cannot sell the software to other pharmacy, for any reason you close your pharmacy (or maybe when you retire). I think it is unfair to charge for software and monthly fee even though a company does not sell it but lease it.
Anybody use RX30?? It looks kind of old and not much info showing on the main screen and I kind of like window based software. Is it good??
Any opinion on Best RX or Winrx (too expensive but looks good-I heard it is a lease too) or super scripts or any other software out there???
Anybody uses Speedscripts??? How good is it???
Can anybody tell me which one is the best when factoring in the cost and funtionality??
2. Dose anybody know if a pharmacy balance has to be NTEP certified or not??
3. Do measuring devices (like graduated cylinders...) have to be class A too? (did not know it comes that way before)
4. On pharmacy permit application, do I have to check a box for compounding and delivery when I only occasionally mix oint. or cream or powder in them (just like any retail store) and deliver meds for my friends and church members MYSELF?
I have been trying to contact board of pharmacy with these questions but they are never there and never called back
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance
------------------------------------------------------
I got answers from Board of Pharmacy which give me NOTHING** 😡😡😡😡
These are their answers
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Board of Pharmacy with your inquires. Please find below the answers to your questions.
1. "If the pharmacy is not an operational pharmacy within 60 days following the initial issuance of the pharmacy permit, the Board shall notify the permit holder of the Board's intent to rescind the pharmacy permit" COMAR 10.34.14.02.E------------- I asked them how I can open a pharmacy in 60 days after permit approved. Approval from wholesaler alone will take about 60 days and there are other things to be approved like 3rd parties, DEA etc.. I also asked them to give me any suggestions which can help me get the process done in time.
2. If applicable, a Class A prescription balance and weights may be used by the pharmacy. The Class A balance must we in good working order COMAR 10.34.14.02.---------- I asked if a class A balance has to be NTEP certified or not. I do not see an answer in here
3. Indicate or check all the applicable business operations that the pharmacy will be engaged in on the application. If the pharmacy is going to perform non-sterile compounding, then, yes, you will need to check that plus any other applicable types of business. ----------------- What does this mean??? Do I need to check the box or not when I just mix oint. or cream?????
