According to the Health Professions Act - Bylaws Schedule F Part 1, upon request a pharmacist must transfer prescriptions to another pharmacy licensed in Canada, if the drug does not contain a controlled drug substance and the transfer occurs between a registrant and another registrant or an equivalent of a registrant in another Canadian jurisdiction. The Bylaw does not address transferring a prescription to the U.S. In the interest of positive patient outcomes registrants may use professional judgement and decide to transfer a prescription to a state that is allowed to accept transfers from Canada. However, once the prescription is transferred out of B.C. the pharmacy is not allowed to transfer the unused refills back to B.C.
