Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 475:30-1-6

Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) A pharmacy may dispense directly a controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule II which is a prescription drug as determined under the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, only pursuant to a prescription or as otherwise provided for in this Title.

(b) A registered individual practitioner may administer or dispense directly a controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule II in the course of his/her professional practice without a prescription, subject to 475:30-1-5.

(c) An institutional physician limited in practice by the individual's appropriate Oklahoma state licensing board, other than those registered in a fee-exempt status with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control, may administer or dispense directly (but not prescribe) a controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule II, only pursuant to a prescription signed by the "Limited Institutional Practitioner's" supervising chief medical practitioner or to an order for medication made by an individual supervising chief medical practitioner which is dispensed for immediate administration to the ultimate user.

(d) In case of an emergency situation, as defined by the Oklahoma State Board of Pharmacy pursuant to Title 63 Okl.St.Ann. § 2-309, and Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, § 1306.11, the pharmacist of a registered or otherwise authorized pharmacy may dispense a controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule II upon receiving oral authorization of a prescribing registered individual; PROVIDED that:

(1) The quantity prescribed and dispensed is limited to the amount adequate to treat the patient during the emergency period (dispensing beyond the emergency period must be pursuant to a prescription signed by the prescribing registered individual practitioner).

(2) The prescription shall be immediately reduced to writing by the pharmacist and shall contain all information required in Title 63 Okl.St.Ann. § 2-309 and OAC 475, except for the signature of the prescribing registered individual practitioner.

(3) If the prescribing registered individual practitioner is not known to the pharmacist, he/she must make a reasonable effort to determine that oral authorization came from a registered individual practitioner, which may include a callback to the prescribing registered individual practitioner, using his/her phone number as listed in the telephone directory and/or good faith effort to ensure his/her identity.

(4) In emergency situations, reasonable effort must be made to determine the identity of the person picking up the prescription if that person is not known to the pharmacist.

(5) Within seventy-two (72) hours after authorizing an emergency oral prescription, the prescribing registered individual practitioner shall cause a prescription for the emergency quantity prescribed to be delivered to the dispensing pharmacist. In addition to conforming to the requirements of Title 63 Okl.St.Ann. § 2-309(F), the prescription shall have written on its face "Authorization for Emergency Dispensing", and the date of the oral order. The prescription may be delivered to the pharmacist in person or by mail, but if delivered by mail, it must be postmarked within the 72-hour period. Upon receipt, the dispensing pharmacist shall attach this prescription to the oral emergency prescription which had earlier been reduced to writing. The pharmacy shall notify the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control if the prescribing registered individual practitioner fails to deliver to him/her a prescription; failure of the pharmacy to do so shall void the authority conferred by this paragraph to dispense without a prescription of a prescribing registered individual practitioner.
