Okla. Admin. Code § 475:30-1-3 - Purpose of issuance of prescriptions
(a)
A prescription for a controlled dangerous substance to be effective must be
issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a registered or otherwise authorized
individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his/her professional
practice. The responsibility for the proper prescribing and dispensing of
controlled dangerous substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a
corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who fills the
prescription, as the filling of a prescription is not incumbent on the
pharmacy. An order purporting to be a prescription issued not in the usual
course of professional treatment or in legitimate and authorized research is
not a prescription within the meaning and intent of Title 63 Okl.St.Ann.
§§2-309 and 2-312, and the person knowingly filling such a purported
prescription, as well as the person issuing it, shall be subject to the
penalties provided for violations of the provisions of law relating to
controlled dangerous substances.
(b) A prescription may not be issued in order
for a registered or otherwise authorized individual practitioner to obtain
controlled dangerous substances to stock or re-supply his/her office or medical
bag for the purpose of general dispensing to patients. Such orders for stock or
re-supply must be made by invoice for schedules III, IV, and V, or by DEA-222
order form for schedules I and II.
(c) A prescription may not be issued for the
dispensing of a controlled dangerous substance listed in any schedule to a drug
dependent person for the sole purpose of continuing his/her dependence upon
such drugs. This prohibition applies to the use of gradually diminished doses
for the purpose of tapering the person's dependence. This section does not
apply to a properly licensed and registered narcotic treatment
program.
(d) A practitioner may not
distribute, dispense, sell, give, prescribe or administer any controlled
substances in Schedules I through V for the practitioner's personal use, or for
an immediate family member. Provided that this paragraph shall not apply to
family members outside the second degree of consanguinity or affinity. Provided
further that this paragraph shall not apply to medical emergencies when no
other medical doctor is available to respond to the emergency.
