Ronald Malsam, a pharmacist in Fairfax City, had his license suspended and lost his job, according to an order from the Department of Health Professionals. The suspension was ordered in February.
The order does not state the reason why the license was suspended, but a notice dated the same day alleged that Malsam, over the course of a year-and-a-half, diverted 621 tablets of hydrocodone, alprazolam, acetaminophen and Lipitor, among other drugs, for his personal use.
