Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
In the absence of
specific authorization to refill, when the refilling of a prescription calling
for a controlled substance or dangerous drug needed for the continuation of a
treatment of a chronic or continuing illness is considered necessary and the
pharmacist is unable to communicate with the prescribing practitioner, the
pharmacist may, if in his or her professional judgment the pharmacist feels
that the controlled substance or dangerous drug should be provided for the
patient, furnish a sufficient supply of the medication to provide for the
continuation of treatment until such time as he or she can communicate with the
prescribing practitioner personally.
