Schedule II Script - What can be changed?

[swatchgirl]

Honestly I'd just start sending them back, you're not their secretary and it's not your job to fix their mistakes and break laws in order to fill their scripts.

Does the law specify that adding a birthday to a CII script is illegal? I don't want to be anyone's secretary, but I do want to know what is within my scope of practice to do, and what isn't.

Only things you can't touch on a C2 script are:
1) MD signature
2) date
3) name of drug

everything else can be verified/changed with prescriber's approval.

Not in Texas. That would be changing the drug.

I take that as changing the form not the drug so I do it, my vote is yes.

Exactly. I called my state board about this (California) in this case and it's completely ok.
