Denmark | 2020-04-15 | Krista Lilly In Denmark we do not use any of these concepts. Usually, we use dispensing related to drugs only. | ||
US | 2020-04-17 | The Board of Pharmacy definition for: "Dispense" means preparing and packaging a prescription drug or device in a container and labeling the container with information required by State and federal law. This seems to make provision a more generic (e.g., parent) concept compared to dispensing. Provision might apply to over-the-counter drugs for which no prescription is required. | ||
New Zealand | 2020-05-05 | Dispensing is viewed as an old fashioned term and provision is our preferred term. If any distinction where to be made provision would be the parent concept and dispensing would relate to prescription only drugs. | ||
