Can CIII-CV prescriptions be transferred in Connecticut, and if so, how many times?

In Connecticut, prescriptions for controlled substances classified as Schedule III to V (CIII-CV) can be transferred, but there is a specific limitation on the number of times this can occur. The law allows for the transfer of these prescriptions only one time between pharmacies. This regulation is in place to help maintain proper control and tracking of these substances, given their potential for abuse and the importance of ensuring patient safety.

While federal regulations do permit pharmacies to transfer CIII-CV prescriptions, Connecticut's state laws impose a stricter rule of one transfer. This means that once a prescription has been transferred, it cannot be transferred again to another pharmacy. Understanding this one-time transfer rule is vital for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to ensure compliance with state regulations and to avoid legal complications.
