Who we serve

We have statutory responsibility to set standards for the control of prescribing, dispensing, administration of pharmaceuticals by health care providers. We also set standards for the distribution of pharmaceuticals by:

  • Health care facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, long-term care, and
  • Other entities, such as manufacturers, distributors, community-based programs

We also promote effective security and accountability measures and work to prevent theft, tampering, misuse and abuse of drugs.
