Abstract

Digitization of the pharmaceutical field or often referred to as E Pharmacy is currently starting to develop in the community. The existence of digital pharmacy allows patients to know the prescription given by the doctor and even know the type of medicine they are taking, including the instructions for consumption. It is also hoped that digital pharmacy will minimize bias and errors in reading prescriptions by pharmacists even though it is still under doctor's confirmation so that the right drug is achieved, on target, on time, and with the right users. This study aimed to identify and analyze the responsibilities and authorities of pharmacists in running digital pharmacies in pharmacies. This research is a normative juridical type, with secondary data as the main data source through the statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. The results showed that if there was an error made by pharmacists in carrying out digital pharmaceutical services at pharmacies to the detriment of patients, the pharmacist must be responsible as a business actor dealing with consumers as regulated in the Consumer Protection Law and Permenkes Number 9 of 2017 concerning Pharmacies. Pharmacists in general must be responsible criminally, administratively and civilly, which is based on breaking promises/defaults (Article 1239 of the Civil Code) and unlawful acts (Article 1365 of the Civil Code) namely liability due to mistakes.
