Return of unused drugs packaged in unit doses.
1. As used in this section, “unit dose” means that quantity of a drug which is packaged as a single dose.
2. A pharmacist who provides a regimen of drugs in unit doses to a patient in a facility for skilled nursing or facility for intermediate care as defined in chapter 449 of NRS may credit the person or agency which paid for the drug for any unused doses. The pharmacist may return the drugs to the dispensing pharmacy, which may reissue the drugs to fill other prescriptions in accordance with the provisions of NRS 449.2485.
3. Except schedule II drugs specified in or pursuant to chapter 453 of NRS and except as otherwise provided in NRS 433.801, 449.2485 and 639.2675, unit doses packaged in ampules or vials which do not require refrigeration may be returned to the pharmacy which dispensed them. The Board shall, by regulation, authorize the return of any other type or brand of drug which is packaged in unit doses if the Food and Drug Administration has approved the packaging for that purpose.
