February 13, 2012 Congratulations! Twenty-nine (29) pharmacists were issued an Oklahoma Doctor of Pharmacy license during the period from October - December 2011 (click here to view). December 14, 2011 In the near future, pharmacists who complete ACPE accredited CPE programs will NOT receive a printed CPE certificate from CPE providers. To receive CPE credit, those pharmacists will first need to register and create an NABP e-Profile with CPE Monitor, if they have not done so already, and provide their unique e-Profile ID and date of birth (mmdd) to the ACPE-accredited CPE provider. If pharmacists wish to receive credit for ACPE accredited programs, they must register at www.MyCPEmonitor.net for their unique e-Profile ID. The ID number is a requirement of ACPE, not the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy. View CE Update for more information. August 26, 2011 The Board is hosting FREE EDUCATIONAL SEMNARS at eleven (11) locations throughout the state during September, October & November. Click here for more information.

To review full statute please go to July 21, 2011 Notice of Rulemaking Intent and DRAFT Permanent Proposed Rules for Chapters 1, 13 and 15 have been posted. See "Rules" to view. July 7, 2011 Beginning with technician permits renewed ONLINE, technician permits must be signed by a licensed Oklahoma pharmacist to be valid. Unless a technician is currently employed in a licensed Oklahoma pharmacy and under the immediate & direct supervision of licensed Oklahoma pharmacist who will sign their permit, their permit will not be valid. Permits processed by the Board will also be issued with this signature requirement in the coming weeks. Those technicians who already have a 2012 expiration date will receive the new permit upon their next renewal. June 16, 2011 Pilot program approved with www.disposemymeds.org. The Board has approved the establishment of a pilot program in conjunction with the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and the “disposemymeds.org” (DMM) program for the safe disposal of unused/unwanted/expired (UUE) medications. This pilot program will allow Oklahoma in-state licensed pharmacies to establish a drop-off location in their pharmacy for UUE medications, and then dispose of them through the DMM program. (click here to view further details) May 25, 2011 PRESS RELEASE: Based upon the declarations of Governor Mary Fallin, the emergency/disaster rules of the Board of Pharmacy are in effect for those in areas affected by the recent storms. These rules include the ability of a pharmacy to fill prescriptions for patients affected by the emergency/disaster to have a prescription filled for up to a 30-day supply of non-controlled medication even if the pharmacy is unable to contact the physician due to the emergency situation. Controlled drugs (such as hydrocodone and alprazolam) are subject to different rules based upon DEA and OBN declarations. Pharmacists must use professional judgment in these situations to help patients continue their medication treatments during emergency/disaster situations.(click here to view rules) January 24, 2011 Requirements for electronic transmission of controlled substance prescriptions. January 12, 2011 As of January 14, 2011, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) will no longer provide for the destruction of controlled substances which are unwanted, unused, out of date, or abandoned by their owner (click here to view). December 28, 2010 New graduates are NOT exempt from reporting continuing education. During the on-line renewal process, you will be required to list the name of the school of pharmacy you attended during the previous calendar year, the dates you attended that school, and that you had 15 clock hours of continuing education. The name of the school of pharmacy will also be listed in place of the 'ACPE Number'. October 6, 2010 DEA Policy Statement on Role of Agents in Communicating CS Prescriptions: July 2, 2009 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY the following ID's are allowed in Oklahoma for PSE: State Issued Driver's License If, and only if, a patient has none of these types of ID, such as a nursing home patient, then you may use a social security number to submit for PSE and PMP. For the purpose of accepting ID’s, please refer to the following definition: “State” means any state, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or foreign nation. Any questions concerning PSE requirements should be directed to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics at 405-521-2885. July 1, 2008 (updated May 4, 2009) Advanced Practice Nurses with authority to prescribe C-III thru C-V controlled substances can prescribe up to 30 days supply. The 30 days supply may be a combination of the initial fill and a number of refills which adds up to the 30 days supply. For example, a prescription for a 10 day supply could have up to 2 refills which would equal a 30 days supply. This change is a result of a change in the Oklahoma regulations effective July 1, 2008. [Note: Physician's Assistants may prescribe up to a 30 day supply as an individual prescription, but are not allowed to prescribe refills on controlled substances.] September 15, 2008 Detailed information regarding tamper resistant requirements is available online from OHCA or by requesting a faxed copy from the OHCA Pharmacy Help Desk at 405-522-6205 option 4. January 1, 2005 Oklahoma's Unused Prescription Drug Program became effective January 1, 2005. Oklahoma Assisted Living Centers wishing to participate in the program may submit an Application for Donation Of Unused Prescription Drugs to the Board. A list of the pharmacies participating in the program will be posted on this website. Last Modified on 02/13/2012
