Overview

The Dangerous Drug Act, which encompasses Ohio’s Terminal Distributors of Dangerous Drugs (TDDD) licensure, was signed into law in 1961. As a result, specific practices in Ohio had to obtain a TDDD license to handle or possess dangerous drugs. The verification rule (Admin. Code 4729-9-12) has been included in the Dangerous Drug Act for decades; however, the rule was amended in June 2017 with modifications to exemptions related to practice type. In July 2017, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy further clarified that TDDD licensure verification is required for delivery of drug samples to Ohio Healthcare Professionals (HCPs).

For HCPs to receive a dangerous drug sample in Ohio, their practice address must be TDDD licensed.
