Question

I'M A PHARM TECH STUDENT AND I'M ON MY INTERN I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP PRESCRIPTIONS ON FILE AND CAN YOU PLACE C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 TOGETHER AND WHY DON'T SOME REQUIRE YOU TO STAMP THE LETTER C ON CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ANYMORE.

Answer 1

You need to refer to the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 to help with many of your answers.

However, also your state will have specific pharmiceutical laws on the books that will address more indepth rules and regulations.

Refer to the below listed website as a start.

Best wishes!
