What information must be recorded on the back of a Schedule II prescription for each partial fill?

When a Schedule II prescription is partially filled, it is essential to record specific details to remain compliant with regulations. One of the mandatory pieces of information is the date of the partial fill. This requirement is crucial for tracking the dispensing of controlled substances and ensuring that patients receive their medications in accordance with both their needs and legal obligations.

Recording the date allows for proper monitoring of the total quantity dispensed compared to what was originally prescribed, which helps prevent misuse or over-dispensing of controlled substances. This practice is particularly important for Schedule II drugs, which have a high potential for abuse and are closely regulated.

While other details such as the prescriber’s information, pharmacy name and address, and patient’s insurance details may be relevant in other contexts, they are not part of the specific requirements for documenting each partial fill on a Schedule II prescription. The focus is firmly on ensuring that critical information related to the partial fills, especially the date, is properly recorded for compliance and patient safety.
