Section 855-041-2100 - Operation of a Double Set-Up Pharmacy in a Retail Drug Outlet

A double set-up is an establishment having both a retail drug outlet registration and a nonprescription drug outlet registration. In a double set-up:

(1) The retail drug outlet (pharmacy) must be a separate operation, completely contained by an enclosure which assures safe storage. This enclosure must be from floor to ceiling or be at least ten feet from the floor. This area is to be easily distinguished by the public. When the retail drug outlet (pharmacy department) is closed, then as a nonprescription drug outlet the establishment is subject to the provisions of OAR 855-035-0005 and 855-035-0020.

(2) When a pharmacist is not in attendance, a closed sign shall be posted at the entrances stating the hours of the pharmacy's operation. All entrances to the retail drug outlet shall be closed off and securely locked. Any keys to the retail drug outlet (pharmacy) shall remain in the possession of the pharmacist-in-charge and other employee pharmacists as authorized by the pharmacist-in-charge if the retail drug outlet (pharmacy) is closed while the nonprescription outlet (shopkeeper) remains open.

(3) Any system deviating from the requirement of this section, except as provided in OAR 855-041-6310, shall be approved by the Board prior to implementation. Requests for such approval shall be in writing and provide a detailed description of the proposed system. A written description of such system, as approved by the Board, shall be maintained in the pharmacy.
