The answer

The employee is obligated to adhere to the system for dispensing medicines and not to dispense them without a medical prescription, even if it is to favor colleagues or out of compassion for patients. This is because it constitutes a betrayal of trust and a violation of instructions.

The Permanent Committee was asked about the ruling on a pharmacist dispensing medicines without a medical prescription or in excess of the specified quantity. They replied that it is not permissible to dispense medicines except as prescribed by the physician.
