"(e) [No] Except as otherwise
provided for narcotic drugs listed in schedule III, no controlled substance
in schedule III, IV, or V may be dispensed without a written, facsimile of a
written, oral prescription of a practitioner, or receipt of an electronic
prescription, except when a controlled substance is dispensed directly by a
practitioner, other than a pharmacist, to an ultimate user. The practitioner,
in dispensing a controlled substance in schedule III, IV, or V, shall affix to
the package a label showing:
(1) The date of dispensing;
(2) The name, strength, and quantity issued of the drug;
(3) The dispensing practitioner's name and business address;
(4) The name of the patient;
(5) The "use by" date for the drug, which shall be:
(A) The expiration date on the manufacturer's or principal labeler's container; or
(B) One year from the date the drug is dispensed, whichever is earlier;
(6) Directions for use; and
(7) Cautionary statements, if any, contained in the prescription or as required by law.
A
complete and accurate record of all schedule III, IV, and V controlled
substances administered, prescribed, and dispensed shall be maintained for five
years. Prescriptions and records of dispensing shall be retained in
conformance with the requirements of section 329-36 unless otherwise provided
by law. [Prescriptions] Except as otherwise provided for narcotic
drugs listed in schedule III, prescriptions may not be filled or refilled
more than three months after the date of the prescription or be refilled more
than two times after the date of the prescription, unless the prescription is
renewed by the practitioner. For narcotic drugs listed in schedule III: no
narcotic drug listed in schedule III may be dispensed without a written
prescription of a practitioner, except when a narcotic drug listed in schedule
III is dispensed directly by a practitioner, other than a pharmacist, to an
ultimate user. Prescriptions for narcotic drugs listed in schedule III shall
be limited to a thirty day supply and may not be refilled. For purposes of
prescribing narcotic drugs listed in schedule III, "practitioner"
shall be limited to a physician licensed and registered under section 329-32 to
distribute, dispense, or prescribe a controlled substance in the course of
professional practice in this State."
