The pharmacist shall make a reasonable effort to obtain, record, and maintain the following information:   A list of all prescription drug orders obtained by the patient at the pharmacy where the prescription drug order is being filled for at least the preceding two years, showing the prescription number, the name and strength of the drug, the quantity and date dispensed, and the name of the prescribing practitioner; and   Comments from the pharmacist relevant to the individual's drug therapy, including any other information peculiar to the specific patient or drug.
