Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

Pharmacists, the pharmacy manager and pharmacies are responsible for meeting the following requirements:

(1) In place of dispensing two or more prescribed drug products in separate containers, a pharmacist may, with the consent of the patient, the patient's caregiver, or a pre-scriber, provide a CAMP. The CAMP is designed and labeled to indicate the day and time or period of time that the contents within each CAMP are to be taken. The dispensing pharmacy shall instruct the patient or caregiver on the use of the CAMP.

(2) In the absence of more stringent packaging requirements for any of the drug products contained in the CAMP, each CAMP shall be in compliance with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and National Formulary (NF). Each container shall be designed as to show evidence of tampering. CAMP packaging shall comply with all provisions of the poison prevention packaging act.

(3) When preparing a CAMP, the dispenser shall take into account any applicable USP Compendial requirements or guidelines, the physical and chemical compatibility of the dosage forms placed within each container, and any therapeutic incompatibilities that may affect the simultaneous administration of the medications. Medications shall not be dispensed in CAMP in any of the following situations:

(A) The USP monograph or official labeling of a medication requires dispensing in the original container.

(B) The drugs or dosage forms are incompatible with packaging components or each other.

(C) The drugs are therapeutically incompatible when administered simultaneously.

(4) If two medications have physical characteristics that make them indistinguishable from each other, then the medication shall not be packaged together in the same CAMP.

(5) Medications that have been dispensed in CAMP may not be returned to stock or dispensed to another patient when returned to the pharmacy for any reason. If a prescription for any drug contained in the CAMP is changed, then a new appropriately labeled CAMP may be prepared for the patient. Medications that have been dispensed in CAMP are not eligible for donation under the Utilization of Unused Prescription Medications Act.
