After an emergency CII prescription is given, within how many days must the actual written prescription be received?

3 days
5 days
7 days
10 days

The correct answer is: 3 days

The correct answer is that after an emergency CII prescription is given, the actual written prescription must be received within 7 days. The rationale for this is based on federal regulations that allow a pharmacist to dispense a controlled substance in the case of an emergency, provided that a written prescription is presented to the pharmacy within this specified period. In Arizona, the regulation aligns with federal guidelines, specifying a time frame that ensures the integrity of the emergency dispensing process while also maintaining appropriate oversight of controlled substances. The 7-day requirement ensures that the prescriber has enough time to provide the necessary documentation while also protecting against misuse or abuse of the emergency prescribing privilege. It’s important to follow up on the timeline to comply with legal and safety considerations in pharmacy practice. Dispensing beyond this time frame could lead to regulatory repercussions and could be detrimental to responsible pharmacy practices.
