True or False: A pharmacy can have legend drugs before the inspection and permit are completed.

True
False
Conditional
Only under special circumstances

The correct answer is: False

In South Carolina, a pharmacy cannot possess legend drugs until the required inspections and permits are completed and granted. This regulation is in place to ensure that pharmacies meet state standards for safety, efficacy, and compliance with pharmaceutical laws before they can dispense prescription medications. The inspection process assesses the pharmacy's conditions, practices, and adherence to legal requirements, ensuring that the pharmacy is properly equipped and staffed to handle prescription medications responsibly. Thus, the statement is false; without the permit and successful completion of the inspection, the possession of legend drugs is not permissible. This requirement helps protect public health and maintain the integrity of the pharmaceutical distribution system.
