Can a pharmacy repackage a controlled substance (CS) prescription?

Yes, under certain conditions
No
Yes, if it’s in a smaller quantity
Yes, if authorized by the patient

The correct answer is: Yes, under certain conditions

Pharmacies in Wisconsin can repackage a controlled substance prescription under certain conditions. The pharmacy must comply with state and federal regulations related to the repackaging of controlled substances. These regulations typically include requirements for proper labeling, documentation, and storage of repackaged medications to ensure patient safety and prevent diversion. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because pharmacies can repackage controlled substances under certain conditions, as mentioned above. Option C is incorrect because repackaging a controlled substance based solely on a smaller quantity does not determine the legality of the action. Option D is also incorrect because authorization by the patient alone is not sufficient to justify the repackaging of a controlled substance prescription.
