HOW MANY DAYS SUPPLY OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE MAY BE DISPENSED AT ONE TIME?
As of August 1, 2002 , the PEB revised Wis. Admin. Code Phar 8.05, the dispensing requirements for controlled substances, removing the 7-day date limitation on schedule II controlled substances prescriptions and eliminating the 34-day dispensing quantity limitation on all controlled substances. The repeal of these sections of Phar 8.05 is intended to allow practitioners and pharmacists to more fully exercise their professional judgment in prescribing and dispensing controlled substances. This is consistent with federal controlled substances prescription rules which have no date or days supply restrictions. The state requirement that a schedule II controlled substance prescription may not be dispensed more than 60 days after the date of issue still remains.
