DEA Form 41 is submitted when a registrant destroys controlled substances, documenting the drugs destroyed and method used.

Foreign pharmacy graduates must obtain Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) certification from NABP, which includes passing the FPGEE and TOEFL, before they are eligible to sit for NAPLEX.

The FDA requires a standardized 'Drug Facts' label on all OTC medications, which must list, in a specific order, the active ingredient(s), uses, warnings, directions, and inactive ingredients. The purpose of each active ingredient must be stated. While the NDC, lot number, and expiration date are required on the packaging, they are not part of the standardized 'Drug Facts' panel itself.

A pharmacist may make a therapeutic equivalent substitution in strength by adjusting quantity and directions after notifying the prescriber, as it constitutes the same drug.
