A manufacturer or its agent holding the items must be registered with the pharmacy board as a manufacturer or wholesaler. Delivery requires a prescription from a health care practitioner. It must go directly to the patient or someone the patient chooses for self-treatment, or to a care provider or institution for the patient’s treatment.
