N.J. Admin. Code § 13:45H-7.4 - Purpose of issue of prescription
(a) A prescription
for a controlled substance to be effective must be issued for a legitimate
medical purpose by an individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his
professional practice. The responsibility for the proper prescribing and
dispensing of controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a
corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who fills the
prescription. An order purporting to be a prescription issued not in the usual
course of professional treatment or in legitimate and authorized research is
not a prescription and the person knowingly filling such a purported
prescription, as well as the person issuing it, shall be subject to the
penalties provided for violations of the provisions of Law relating to
controlled substances.
(b) A
prescription may not be issued in order for an individual practitioner to
obtain controlled substances for supplying the individual practitioner for the
purpose of general dispensing to patients.
(c) A prescription may not be issued for the
dispensing of narcotic drugs listed in any schedule for "detoxification" or
"maintenance treatment" as defined in
N.J.A.C.
13:45H-11.1, unless the prescription is for a
Schedule III, IV, or V narcotic drug approved by the Food and Drug
Administration specifically for use in maintenance or detoxification treatment
and the practitioner is in compliance with
21
CFR 1301.28.
