Authority and scope
Check the license and concern
The Board handles complaints about pharmacists, technicians, interns/externs, pharmacies and other regulated entities, including manufacturers, distributors and 503B outsourcing facilities. Identify the pharmacy and any individuals involved. The checked consumer instructions do not explain the jurisdictional test for a pharmacy located outside Alabama; ask the Board if that applies.

How the official source says to file
- Use the Board’s Complaint Gateway and complete each requested section accurately. The gateway says supporting documents can be uploaded at the end. Keep the pharmacy’s location, relevant dates, prescription details and supporting copies ready.
- The consumer page also describes a complaint form and release, but a current downloadable packet and return instructions were not established. Ask the Complaint Coordinator at 205-981-2280 if you need a paper option or help with a release.

What this route may not provide
The Board excludes physicians, nurses, dentists, veterinarians and corporate policies from its regulatory scope. Ordinary fees, prices and customer-service issues unrelated to pharmacy law are outside its jurisdiction. Its described remedies concern regulatory enforcement and sanctions; compensation authority was not established by this check.

Do not guess about confidentiality
The checked instructions do not establish whether anonymous complaints are accepted, whether identity can be withheld from the subject, or which complaint records become public. Ask the Complaint Coordinator before relying on confidentiality.
Ask promptly; filing limit not established
A filing deadline was not established by this check; ask promptly. The gateway’s 60-minute inactivity timeout concerns an unfinished online session, not the period for reporting an incident.

What may happen after filing
The Board screens jurisdiction, acknowledges receipt and may seek more information or a statement. After review it may close the matter, issue a concern letter, document correction, continue investigating or file disciplinary charges. It says the complainant receives the disposition.
