2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 33 - Controlled Substances Title 4 - Dispensing to Ultimate Users 3332 - Making of Official New York State Prescriptions or Electronic Prescriptions for Scheduled Substances.

§  3332. Making of official New York state prescriptions or electronic prescriptions for scheduled substances. 1. No controlled  substance  may be  prescribed  by  a  practitioner except on an official New York state prescription or on an electronic prescription, and in good faith and  in the course of his or her professional practice only.   2.  Such  prescription shall be prepared on an official New York state prescription form, written with ink, indelible pencil or, apart from the practitioner's signature, typewriter or electronic printer,  or  to  the extent   authorized   by   federal   requirements,   on   an  electronic prescription. The original official New York state prescription  or  the electronic prescription must contain the following:  (a)  the  name,  address,  and  age  of the ultimate user for whom the substance is intended, or, if  the  ultimate  user  is  an  animal,  the species  of  such animal and the name and address of the owner or person having custody of such animal;  (b) the name, address, Federal registration number, telephone  number, and  handwritten  signature of the prescribing practitioner, except that an electronic prescription must contain the electronic signature of  the prescribing practitioner;  (c)  specific  directions  for  use,  including but not limited to the dosage and frequency of dosage and the maximum daily dosage;  (d) the date upon which such prescription was actually signed  by  the prescribing practitioner.   3.  No  such  prescription  shall be made for a quantity of controlled substances which would exceed a thirty  day  supply  if  the  controlled substance  were used in accordance with the directions for use specified on the prescription. A practitioner may, however, issue  a  prescription for  up  to a three month supply of a controlled substance provided that the controlled substance  has  been  prescribed  to  treat  one  of  the conditions  that  have  been  enumerated by the commissioner pursuant to regulations as warranting the prescribing of greater than a  thirty  day supply of a controlled substance and that the practitioner specifies the condition  on  the face of the prescription. No additional prescriptions for a controlled substance  may  be  issued  by  a  practitioner  to  an ultimate  user  within  thirty  days  of  the  date  of any prescription previously issued unless and until the ultimate user has  exhausted  all but  a  seven  day  supply  of  the controlled substance provided by any previously issued prescription. A practitioner  may,  however,  issue  a prescription  for  up  to  a six month supply of any substance listed in subdivision (h) of Schedule II of section thirty-three  hundred  six  of this  article  provided that such substance has been prescribed to treat one of the conditions that have  been  enumerated  by  the  commissioner pursuant  to  regulations  as  warranting the prescribing of a six month supply  and  that  the  practitioner  specifies  the  condition  on  the prescription or on the electronic prescription.   4. The practitioner shall deliver the original official New York state prescription  to  the  ultimate  user  or  shall transmit the electronic prescription to the pharmacy.
