Where do you store DRUG SAMPLES in the pharmacy?

Drug samples must be kept secure and access-controlled because of PDMA and state-by-state rules. They should be housed in a locked, restricted area within the pharmacy where only authorized personnel can reach them. This means a designated cabinet or room in the stock area, not on the public retail shelves or mixed with ordinary stock. Storing samples in a restricted location helps prevent diversion and ensures proper recordkeeping of what is received and dispensed. Therefore, the correct practice is to keep drug samples in a locked, restricted area allowed for retail pharmacies, separate from open, nonrestricted areas.
