Board temporarily suspends pharmacist license of Joy A. Abolo, R.Ph.

Board temporarily suspends pharmacy license of Jovic Pharmacy, Inc .

On January 26, 2012, the Application s for Temporary Suspension of the pharmacy license of Jovic Pharmacy, Inc., Pharmacy License #26402, of Humble, Texas, and the pharmacist license of Joy A. Abolo, Pharmacist License #41322, of Humble, Texas, were granted in that the evidence and information indicated that Jovic Pharmacy and Ms. Abolo are a continuing threat to the public welfare based on the following:

Ms. Abolo is the owner and pharmacist-in-charge of the pharmacy.
Ms. Abolo dispensed controlled substances at the pharmacy over a period of approximately seventeen months pursuant to approximately 14,000 prescriptions she knew or should have known were invalid. The prescriptions were issued from various pain management clinics by various physicians, or mid-level practitioners acting under a physician’s supervision. The prescriptions were written for hydrocodone, carisoprodol, and/or alprazolam for the purported treatment of pain and/or anxiety. Ms. Abolo dispensed the controlled substances pursuant to prescriptions that were invalid because (a) the prescribers issued prescriptions for controlled substances that were not necessary or required for the patients’ valid medical need or for a therapeutic purpose; or (b) the prescribers issued the prescriptions outside the usual course of medical practice, in that the prescriber failed to use medical reasoning in issuing the prescriptions.

The Board Disciplinary Panel adopted the proposed Temporary Suspension Orders and suspended Respondents’ pharmacist license and pharmacy licenses accordingly. The orders of suspension shall remain in effect until superseded by subsequent orders of the Board.
