In which year was the Durham-Humphrey Amendment enacted?

  1. 1951

  2. 1962

  3. 1982

  4. 1994

The correct answer is: 1951

The Durham-Humphrey Amendment was enacted in 1951. This amendment is significant because it established a distinction between prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. It allowed for the dispensing of prescription medications only with a healthcare provider's authorization while ensuring that certain medications which could be used safely without that authorization remained available to the public without a prescription. This legislation was instrumental in shaping the current landscape of pharmacy practice and medication dispensing in the United States, aligning drug availability with safety and professional oversight.
