The Colorado State Board of Pharmacy regulates pharmacists, pharmacy interns, pharmacy technicians, in-state and nonresident pharmacies, in-state and out-of-state prescription drug wholesalers, satellite pharmacies, specialized prescription drug outlets, other outlets, and limited licenses. The Board upholds consumer protection by licensing qualified applicants, investigating complaints, and enforcing disciplinary actions against violators of the Pharmacists, Pharmacy Business and Pharmaceuticals Act and the Board's rules.
