The Board recognizes the standards for Customized Patient Medication Packages published in the USP and paraphrased below.
Compliance is based on official compendium standards.
A patient med pak is a package prepared by a pharmacist for a specific patient comprising a series of containers and containing two or more prescribed solid oral dosage forms. The patient med pak is so designed or each container is so labeled as to indicate the day and time, or period of time, that the contents within each container are to be taken. If the patient med pak allows for the removal or separation of the intact containers therefrom, each individual container shall bear a label identifying each of the drug products contained therein. Alternatively, such required information may be incorporated into a single, overall educational insert provided by the pharmacist for the total patient med pak. Each container shall be either not recloseable or so designed as to show evidence of having been opened.
