UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

ARTICLE III

37-2723. Form and contents of prescription. No person shall write a prescription and no person shall fill, compound or dispense a prescription for a controlled substance in schedule II unless it is dated as of, and signed on, the day when issued and bears the full name and address of the patient, the drug name, strength, dosage form, quantity prescribed, directions for use and the name, address and registration number of the practitioner. A practitioner should sign a prescription in the same manner as he would sign a check or legal document. Prescriptions shall be written with ink or indelible pencil and shall be manually signed by the practitioner. The prescriptions may be prepared by the secretary or agent for the signature of a practitioner, but the prescribing practitioner is responsible in case the prescription does not conform in all essential respects to federal and state law, rules and regulations. A corresponding liability rests upon the pharmacist who fills a prescription not prepared in the form prescribed by law.
