8. Generic drugs shall be dispensed into Arkansas pursuant to the Arkansas Generic Substitution Act; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed to mandate that an out-of-state pharmacy comply with the Arkansas Generic Substitution Act if such compliance would cause the out-of-state pharmacy to violate the generic substitution act of the state wherein the facility of the dispensing out-of-state pharmacy is located.
