54-1749. Prospective drug review and counseling. When filling a prescription a pharmacist shall complete a prospective drug review and then offer to counsel the patient or caregiver "face to face" when possible or appropriate. If this is not possible, a pharmacist shall make a reasonable effort to counsel the patient or caregiver through access to a telephone service which is toll free for long distance calls. Nothing in this act shall be construed as requiring a pharmacist to provide consultation when a patient or caregiver refuses such consultation. Patient counseling as defined in this act shall not be required for inpatients of a hospital or institution where licensed health care professionals are authorized to administer the drug(s).
