Statute gives the Board of Pharmacy the authority to make rules and regulate the practice of pharmacy. The board and its members are immunized from state and federal antitrust laws, if they adopt a rule that prioritizes patient safety and wellness. But the exception is not to be construed to expand or constrict anticompetitive conducts beyond those defined by N.C. State Bd. of Dental Examiners v. FTC, 135 S.Ct. 1101 (2015).
