The Pharmacy Law provides for the licensing and regulation of the practice of pharmacy by the California State Board of Pharmacy within the Department of Consumer Affairs. That law authorizes the board to take disciplinary action against any holder of a license who is guilty of unprofessional conduct, as described, or whose license has been issued by mistake. That law also requires the records of manufacture and of sale, acquisition, receipt, shipment, or disposition of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices to be open for inspection during business hours and preserved for at least 3 years, as specified. That law authorizes a board inspector to embargo any dangerous drug or dangerous device that the board inspector finds or has probable cause to believe is adulterated, misbranded, or counterfeit. Under that law, a person who fails to maintain or produce those records and who violates any provision of that law, when no other penalty is provided, is guilty of a crime.
