Where do you store recalled drugs in the pharmacy?

Explanation:
When a drug is recalled, it must be quarantined and kept separate from normal stock so it cannot be dispensed by mistake. This separation makes recalled items easy to identify, track, and disposition under the recall notice (return, destroy, or other actions as directed). By storing recalled drugs apart from other drug stock, you prevent mixing with active inventory and ensure proper handling according to regulatory directions. Keeping recalls in the back room or with non-recalled inventory or placing them in the front display area fails to guarantee this protection and can lead to inadvertent dispensing.
