Are prescription orders from out-of-state prescribers valid for legend drugs in Guam?

Prescription orders from out-of-state prescribers can indeed be considered valid for legend drugs in Guam under the professional judgment of a pharmacist. This means that pharmacists have the discretion to assess the legitimacy of the prescription, taking into consideration factors such as the prescriber's qualifications, the patient's medical history, and the appropriateness of the prescribed medication.

This flexibility allows pharmacists to play an essential role in ensuring patient care while adhering to the applicable laws and regulations. It reflects a balance between regulatory compliance and the need for patient access to medications, especially when a patient may not have access to local prescribers.

In contrast, the other options do not align with the current regulations and professional practices applicable in Guam. Prescriptions from out-of-state prescribers are not outright banned and do not require a special permit or restriction to urgent cases.
