Every pharmacy shall update its drug retail list\nat least weekly and provide the time and date that the list was updated.\nEvery pharmacy shall provide the drug retail price list to any person\nupon request.\n 2. a. The list provided by the board shall be prepared at least\nannually by the board and distributed to each pharmacy in the state. The\nlist shall be a compendium of the one hundred fifty most frequently\nprescribed drugs together with their usual dosages for which a\nprescription is required by the provisions of the "Federal Food, Drug,\nand Cosmetic Act" (21 U.S.C. 301, et seq.; 52 Stat. 1040, et seq.), as\namended, or by the commissioner of health. The board shall make the\ncompendium list available to each pharmacy free of charge, both in\nprinted form and in an electronic form that can be used to produce the\npharmacy's drug retail list. The board shall provide the compendium list\nto the department of health.\n b. The drug retail price list shall contain an advisory statement by\nthe department alerting consumers to the need to tell their health care\npractitioner and pharmacist about all the medications they may be taking\nand to ask them how to avoid harmful interactions between drugs, if any.\nA pharmacy may include on its drug retail price list a statement: (a)\nconcerning discounts from its listed retail prices that may be available\nto consumers and (b) any limitations that the pharmacy may have as to\nwhat group or groups of customers it serves.\n 3.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent a pharmacy from changing and\ncharging the current retail price at any time, provided that the listed\nprice is updated at least weekly to reflect the new retail price.\n 6. The commissioner shall make regulations necessary to implement this\nsection, including how this section is applied to mail-order and\ninternet pharmacies.\n
