The Carolina JOURNAL of PHARMACY May, 1965 Vol. xlvi No. 5 ? Officers NORTH CAROLINA PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION ? President W. T. Boone Ahoskie ? Vice-Presidents C. D. Blanton, Jr. Kings Mountain S. D. Griffin, Jr. Burlington James L. Creech Smithfield Secretary-Treasurer Editor W. J. Smith Box 151 Chapel Hill, N. C. Assistant Secretary-Treasurer C. M. Andrews Burlington General Counsel F. O. Bowman Chapel Hill MEN FOR liRimil The traditional association between pharmacists and physicians is all too often taken for granted, and there is much ignorance on both sides about the other's activities, the physicians probably being the most neglectful. Mr. McAllister 's paper in this issue of the Journal should help dispel some of this ignorance. One wonders for example, how many physicians realize that modern pharmaceutical education lasts five years, and in this state must be supplemented by a year of "internship." In the long period of years when the pharmacist compounded many of his own medicines, and even gathered the necessary herbs, physicians knew the pharmacists more intimately, for their individual skills were often of the only guarantee that potent medications were being used. The modern pharmacist does not have this responsibility in most instances, but he has acquired many others which are equally important. The nature of these responsibilities, his preparation for assuming them, and the legal structure in which he operates are all of importance to physicians and their patients. Mr. McAllister is rightly concerned that neglect of their common interests by physicians and pharmacists may lead to greater legal regulation of both professions. An example of the genuine cause for his concern, although not a legal responsibility of his Board, is the Durham-Humphrey amendment to the Pure Food and Drug Act. As most physicians know, this amendment prohibits the pharmacist from refilling any prescription unless the physician re-orders it. The amendment was enacted because of laxity by both groups in casually refilling prescriptions for such drugs as barbiturates and amphetamines. Still, with the law on the books, a pharmacist cannot legally refill a prescription for digitalis which he knows must be continued. When and if he does refill such a prescription without an order, he is being led down the primrose path by a neglectful physician, who may well resent being called to give permission for what is obvious to both. With so many common concerns, we are grateful to Mr. McAllister for supplying details of the operation of the pharmaceutical profession in North Carolina. We hope that at least a few unfortunate situations can thereby be avoided.�Editorial reprinted from The Journal of The Medical Society of the State of North Carolina.
