059-10 Wyo. Code R. §§ 10-3 - General Requirements for all Controlled Substance Prescriptions
(a) A controlled substance prescription shall
be issued only by a practitioner who is either registered or exempted from
registration.
(b) A practitioner,
other than a pharmacy, may directly dispense controlled substances to a
patient.
(c) In order for a
controlled substance prescription to be effective it must be issued for a
legitimate medical purpose by a practitioner acting in the usual course of
his/her professional practice. The responsibility for the proper prescribing of
controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding
responsibility rests with the pharmacist who dispenses the
prescription.
(d) An individual
practitioner may issue multiple controlled substance prescriptions authorizing
the patient to receive a total of up to a ninety (90) day supply of a Schedule
II controlled substance provided the following conditions are met:
(i) Each individual prescription shall be
dated with the date it was issued;
(ii) The practitioner provides instructions
on each prescription indicating the earliest date on which a pharmacy may
dispense each prescription (other than the first prescription, if the
prescribing practitioner intends for that prescription to be filled
immediately); and
(iii) The
practitioner concludes that providing the patient with multiple prescriptions
in this manner does not create an undue risk of diversion or abuse.
(iv) Practitioners shall not issue multiple
prescriptions to circumvent the seven (7) day prescribing limits outlined in
W.S.
35-7-1030(e).
(e) Practitioners shall not issue
controlled substance prescriptions to an individual practitioner for the
purpose of general dispensing to patients.
(f) All controlled substance prescriptions
shall contain the following:
(i) The patient's
full name and address;
(ii) Name
and strength of the drug;
(iii)
Quantity to be dispensed;
(iv)
Directions for using the drug;

Date issued by the practitioner; and

telephone number, and DEA registration.
