Telepharmacy Regulations

Telepharmacy regulations govern the practice of providing pharmaceutical services remotely through technology, ensuring safe medication management and patient care. These rules set standards for licensing, operating procedures, security, and record-keeping to protect public health. They also specify how prescriptions are processed, how pharmacists oversee medication dispensing, and requirements for maintaining patient confidentiality. Regulations vary by state or country but generally aim to ensure that telepharmacy services are delivered safely, accurately, and ethically, comparable to traditional in-person pharmacy services.
