What Happened
On March 4, 2013, the Texas State Board of Pharmacy granted applications for temporary suspension of the pharmacy license of Express RX Pharmacy of Denton and the pharmacist license of Esther Chinedozi Amaka. The Board stated the evidence indicated they were a continuing threat to the public welfare, and the Disciplinary Panel adopted Agreed Temporary Suspension Orders. The notice said the suspensions were based on evidence that the respondents stored controlled substances at a location other than the licensed pharmacy, purchased and dispensed controlled substances after the pharmacy closed, conducted operations from Ms. Amaka's home, and had audit shortages of controlled substances.
