Can pharmacists charge for distributing samples?

  1. Yes, for the drug and the dispensing fee

  2. No, but they can charge a dispensing fee

  3. Yes, but only for non-prescription samples

  4. No, they cannot charge in any form

The correct answer is: No, but they can charge a dispensing fee

Pharmacists cannot charge for distributing samples as it goes against their professional code of conduct and may be considered a form of kickback. However, they are allowed to charge a dispensing fee for their services involved in dispensing the sample to the patient. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that pharmacists can charge for both the drug and a dispensing fee for samples. Option C is incorrect as it states that they can only charge for non-prescription samples, which is not true as pharmacists cannot charge for any type of samples. Option D is incorrect as it is too extreme and not entirely true - pharmacists can charge a dispensing fee for their services when dispensing samples.
