Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Do Schedule 5 (C5) medications that can be dispensed without a prescription need to be submitted to the PDMP?

1. No

2. Only if they are dispensed in large quantities

3. Only for certain types of Schedule 5 medications

4. Yes

The correct answer is: No

Schedule 5 (C5) medications are considered the lowest risk category of controlled substances and typically have a lower potential for abuse compared to other schedules. Therefore, they are exempt from PDMP reporting requirements. Option B is incorrect because the quantity of medication dispensed does not determine whether it needs to be submitted to the PDMP or not. Option C is also incorrect because all Schedule 5 medications fall under the same exemption from PDMP reporting. Option D is incorrect because a prescription is not required for the dispensing of Schedule 5 medications, thus they do not need to be submitted to the PDMP.
