Illegal Dispensing of Prescription Drugs
Illegal dispensing of prescription drugs refers to the unauthorized or improper distribution of medications that require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. This can involve selling, giving away, or providing these drugs without a valid prescription or outside legal regulations. Such actions can endanger public health by leading to misuse or abuse of potentially harmful substances. Laws surrounding drug offenses aim to protect individuals and society from the consequences of unregulated access to prescription medications, ensuring that they are used safely and appropriately. Violating these laws can result in criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment.
