Common questions
How do I know a Illinois pharmacist is really licensed?

What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the pharmacist cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Illinois pharmacist has been disciplined?
Public. The IDFPR record carries an ever-disciplined flag and reads suspended, revoked, or on probation when the board has acted against the license.
