prescription that is issued for a controlled substance must be dated and signed
by the prescriber, when issued, and contain all of the following information:
(a) The full name and address of the patient
for whom the substance is being prescribed.
(b) The prescriber's DEA registration number,
preprinted, stamped, typed, or manually printed name, address, and telephone
number or pager number, and professional designation that is either written on
the prescription or stored in the pharmacy's automated data processing
system.
(c) The drug name,
strength, and dosage form.
(d) The
quantity prescribed. For a paper prescription received in writing, the
prescription must contain the quantity in both written and numerical terms. A
paper prescription complies if it contains preprinted numbers representative of
the quantity next to a box or line that the prescriber may check.
(e) The directions for use.
(f) If the prescription is for an animal, the
species of the animal and the full name and address of the owner.

controlled substance listed in schedules 2 to 5 must be written legibly with
ink or an indelible pencil or prepared using a printer and signed by the
prescriber.
(3) An agent of the
prescriber may prepare a prescription for the signature of the prescriber,
however, under sections 16106 and 17744 of the code, MCL
333.16106 and
333.17744, the prescriber is
liable if the prescription does not conform to these rules. A pharmacist who
dispenses a controlled substance under a prescription not prepared in the form
required by these rules is liable under the code.
(4) If the controlled substance prescription
or order in a medical institution is issued under delegation, the printed name
of the delegatee, the licensure designation, the delegating prescriber, and the
signature of the delegatee must be on the written prescription. In medical
facilities, orders must contain the signatures of the delegatee and the printed
name of the delegating prescriber.

prescription to obtain a stock of a controlled substance for the purpose of
dispensing or administering the substance to patients.
