True or False: Prescription drug samples can be stored at or distributed from a retail pharmacy in West Virginia.

False
True

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false. In West Virginia, the distribution and storage of prescription drug samples in a retail pharmacy are not allowed. This regulation is in place to ensure the safe and appropriate handling of medications, as samples are typically intended to be provided by manufacturers directly to healthcare providers for their patients, rather than being managed in retail settings. Retail pharmacies have strict control measures and responsibilities regarding the prescriptions they dispense, and allowing the distribution of drug samples could complicate those controls and potentially lead to misuse or misunderstanding of the medications being provided. Thus, maintaining the clear boundaries regarding drug samples supports patient safety and effective pharmaceutical care in the community.
