On Call - Prescriptions prescribed by out-of-province pharmacists Vol 38 No 2 - April/May 2013 | May. 31, 2013 On Call

Q. Are pharmacists in BC allowed to fill prescriptions from other provinces which have been adapted by a pharmacist?

A. In BC adapted prescriptions cannot be transferred. If the adaption originated from another province, it cannot be transferred to a BC pharmacy if the prescription was adapted by a registered pharmacist without prescribing authority.
