Abstract
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to amend its regulations to allow the transfer of electronic prescriptions for schedule II-V controlled substances between registered retail pharmacies for initial filling on a one-time basis. This amendment will specify the procedure that must be followed and the information that must be documented when transferring an electronic controlled substance prescription between DEA-registered retail pharmacies.
