The B.C. College of Pharmacists has accused a formerly Kelowna-based pharmacist of dispensing opioids without a prescription 香蕉视频直播� again.
For the second time in the past 10 years, Dayton Cliff Sobool, who now manages Summerland香蕉视频直播檚 Guardian Pharmacy, is being investigated by the regulatory authority for allegations related to the improper dispensing of controlled substances and failure to maintain proper records.
According to a citation posted by the college, Sobool was reported in 2017 by the owner of Prescription Health Studio, where he worked as a locum pharmacist. The owner alleged Sobool was diverting medication and had missed required documentation for 11 prescriptions.
On seven occasions between Sept. 2, 2016, and Oct. 7, 2017, the college alleged Sobool dispensed several opioids sans prescription 香蕉视频直播� including oxycodone, hydromorphone.
The college also alleged three more instances in which Sobool dispensed benzodiazepine medications Ativan and APO-diazepam without a prescription.
