Pharmacist banned for buying medications from a car boot
He told a sanction hearing last week he'd reformed, but the tribunal rejected this as he still denied purchasing the S4 drugs in a casino car park: NSW
A pharmacist has been banned for 18 months for buying S4 medications out of a car boot at a Sydney casino with the intent to sell them to the public without a prescription.
Currently the proprietor of the only pharmacy in the rural Queensland town of Westbrook, the pharmacist came to the attention of authorities in early 2016 while he was working in St Mary’s in western Sydney.
At the time, a Sydney pharmacist confessed to selling him S4 and S4D medications out of pity for a man who “was losing a lot of money at the baccarat tables and only working one day a week”.
The pair met in the high-rollers car park of The Star Sydney casino, with 10 bottles of clonazepam marking their first transaction.
