An authorized agent under a Pharmacist can be which of the following?

• A. Intern
• B. Tech
• C. Pharmacist
• D. Intern and Tech

Answer: (D)

An authorized agent is someone who can perform certain tasks under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. In practice, both pharmacy interns and pharmacy technicians are allowed to act as authorized agents because they assist with dispensing, labeling, and related duties as directed by the pharmacist. A pharmacist, by contrast, is the supervisor, not an agent under another pharmacist. So the scenario that includes both interns and technicians correctly identifies who can serve as authorized agents under a pharmacist.
