Title: ●Changes to a Prescription | |
Abstract:
The purpose of this rule is to modify 21 CFR 1306.05(a) to stipulate when pharmacists and/or pharmacist technicians can make changes and/or additions to schedule II-V written controlled substance prescriptions once a prescription has been signed by a DEA registered practitioner. Currently, 21 CFR 1306.05(a) does not state when or if any changes and/or additions can be made to a controlled substance prescription once a prescription has been signed by a DEA registered practitioner. This uncertainty can result in delays for patients receiving prescriptions of controlled substances. |
