Commission accepts settlements in multiple pharmacy enforcement cases totaling $15,500; issues letter of reprimand
Summary
The commission accepted proposed settlement agreements resolving investigations into several Connecticut pharmacies. Monetary payments were reported as paid; one case drew a letter of reprimand and one matter was tabled to a later meeting.
The Connecticut Commission of Pharmacy accepted proposed settlement agreements in multiple enforcement cases at its Hartford meeting, recording voluntary monetary payments totaling $15,500 and issuing a letter of reprimand in one matter.
Department counsel presented a series of routine compliance cases alleging failures such as not maintaining required postings of pharmacy manager names, gaps in management coverage, incomplete technician training records, missing or inadequate controlled‑substance safes or inventories, inadequate perpetual inventory and labeling, and unreported or multiple closures. Counsel said the proposed settlements included voluntary monetary payments that had been paid in each listed case.
The commission accepted settlements and the corresponding payments as reported: case 2023‑1650 — $1,000; case 2023‑1931 — $4,000; a safe/lock failure case — $1,000; case 2024‑2210 — $2,000; and case 2023‑1872 — $7,500 plus a letter of reprimand for the licensee. Commissioners noted that the record in one case reflected prior related enforcement activity. The commission also agreed to table another case for further review and asked staff counsel to provide additional documentation at the next meeting.
Attorney Brett Aiello summarized the allegations and the recommended resolutions for several matters; commissioners asked routine questions about prior history and whether fines had been paid. Aiello confirmed the monetary amounts had been paid where reported.
The actions were described as settlements resolving compliance matters; in the case that included a reprimand the commission recorded the administrative warning on the pharmacy’s record.
