In a remote dispensing location that is operated by and accredited pharmacy, a pharmacy technician may compound, dispense or sell a drug provided…

  1. A second pharmacy tech is physically present at the remote location

  2. A pharmacist is physically present at the remote location

  3. The location is actively supervised by a pharmacist

The correct answer is: The location is actively supervised by a pharmacist

In a remote dispensing location, it is required that a pharmacist is actively supervising the operations. This means that the pharmacist is overseeing all activities and ensuring they are being carried out correctly and safely. Option A is incorrect because a second pharmacy technician does not fulfill the requirement for a pharmacist to be present. Option B is incorrect because a pharmacist must be present, not just a pharmacy technician. Option C is correct because the presence and supervision of a pharmacist is essential for the safe and accurate compounding, dispensing, and sale of drugs.
