Recent Developments in State Pharmacy Law & Regulation: Looking Back at 2018 and What to Expect in 2019
The regulation of pharmacies at the state level might not be what Justice Louis Brandeis had in mind as an example of a “laboratory of democracy,” but for pharmacists and consumers, state-level policy-making can have important real-world effects and encourage efforts on the federal stage.
