SECTION 475:30-1-7. Partial filling of Schedule II prescriptions

(a)   The partial filling of a prescription for a controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule II is permissible if the pharmacy is unable to supply the full quantity called for on the prescription, or where the partial fill is requested by the patient or the practitioner that wrote the prescription. A notation of the quantity supplied on the face of the prescription (or written record of the emergency oral prescription) is required. Except as otherwise prohibited by law or rule, if the remaining portion of the prescription is going to be filled, it shall be filled not later than thirty (30) days after the earliest date on which a pharmacy may fill the prescription; however, in the case of emergency oral prescriptions, the remaining portion of a partially filled prescription shall be filled not later than seventy-two (72) hours after the earliest date on which a pharmacy may fill the prescription.

(b)   For each partial filling, the dispensing pharmacist shall record on the back of the prescription (or on another appropriate record, uniformly maintained, and readily retrievable) the date of the partial filling, quantity dispensed, remaining quantity authorized to be dispensed, and the identification of the dispensing pharmacist. Prior to any subsequent partial filling, the pharmacist is to determine that the additional partial filling is necessary. The total quantity of Schedule II controlled dangerous substances dispensed in all partial fillings must not exceed the total quantity prescribed. Schedule II prescriptions for patients in a LTCF or patients with a medical diagnosis documenting a terminal illness shall be valid for a period not to exceed 60 days from the issue date unless sooner terminated by the discontinuance of medication.
