proof of age when appropriate.
(5)
Record. A bound record book (i.e., with pages sewn or glued to
the spine) for dispensing of Schedule V controlled substances pursuant to this
rule shall be maintained by the pharmacist. The book shall contain the name and
address of each purchaser, the name and quantity of controlled substance
purchased, the date of each purchase, and the name or unique identification of
