Pharmacy Law
Are you a pharmacist or pharmacy facing a legal or regulatory
issue?
Frier & Levitt has extensive experience
handling all types of pharmacy law
matters.
The trend in the pharmacy business has been for pharmacists to assume a more active role in patient care. Pharmacists now participate in disease management. The expanded role of pharmacists creates an additional need to keep informed of changes in federal and state law.
Whether you are an independent or retail chain store pharmacist
or a health system pharmacist, you are faced with increasing legal
and regulatory issues. Frier Levitt has the experience to help
guide you through these often murky waters.
