No prescriber shall be liable for civil damages or in any criminal prosecution arising from the incorrect product selection by a pharmacist. Any person having knowledge relating to a pharmacist or to a pharmacy student which might provide grounds for disciplinary action by the board may report relevant facts to the board, and shall by reason of reporting such facts in good faith be immune from civil liability.
