In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary: those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to ease your pain.

It is the perfect introduction to a wide range of contemporary poetry: works that speak of violence, danger and fear, of love and all that opposes love, in forms of language broken and reshaped by the need to communicate what it is to be alive now, here.

Pharmacies are no longer required to have one specific reference book, the United States Pharmacopoeia Dispensing Information. However, pharmacies must have copies of current laws, rules and regulations governing the practice of pharmacy in New York. Pharmacists must also have ready access to current references such as books, CD-ROM or other online resources.

YES. Pursuant to Article 137-A of Education Law, effective April 25, 2021, pharmacists can have the assistance of up to four unlicensed assistants at one time However, the responsibility of dispensing rests with the pharmacist.

YES. Unlicensed persons may now key data into computer files. However, the pharmacist must verify all of the information prior to dispensing of a prescription by entering his or her initials or other personal identifier.

Board staff is receiving calls and emails inquiring about the continued ability for pharmacists to document certain information on prescriptions for schedule II controlled substances, such as patient address.

A federal law enacted in 2019 required all federal agencies to undertake review of various informal guidance documents. As a result of this review, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") removed informal guidance from its website concerning changes to prescriptions for schedule II controlled substances. The National Association of Chain Drug Stores ("NACDS") issued a letter describing a private phone call with DEA officials. The letter indicated that, despite the DEA's historical guidance permitting pharmacist annotations to schedule II controlled substance prescriptions, all prescriptions for schedule II controlled substances must now arrive at the pharmacy with all elements required by 21 C.F.R. 1306.05(A) in final form.

The Arizona State Board of Pharmacy contacted the DEA for guidance on this matter. The DEA was unable to provide further definitive guidance on this topic. If the DEA issues any formal guidance or proposed rule making changes on this matter, Board staff will provide an update.

Pursuant to section 41-1093.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, an agency shall limit all occupational regulations to regulations that are demonstrated to be necessary to specifically fulfill a public health, safety or welfare concern. Pursuant to sections 41-1093.02 and 41-1093.03, Arizona Revised Statutes, you have the right to petition this agency to repeal or modify the occupational regulation or bring an action in a court of general jurisdiction to challenge the occupational regulation and to ensure compliance with section 41-1093.01, Arizona Revised Statutes.

Prescribing clinicians are often visited by patients looking for medications to remedy their chief complaint. Prescriptions are written for controlled and noncontrolled medication categories. There are 5 different levels of scheduling for controlled medications (I-V), with schedule I having the tightest controls and V being the least restrictive. For over-the-counter medications, prescriptions are not usually required. Some OTC medicines, based on their dosage limits or total days supply, mandate the prescription by the provider (ie, pseudoephedrine in dosage of more than 9 grams per 30 days). For all prescriptions, clinicians need to understand the mechanism and properties of the medication before prescribing, and the pharmacist must be aware of potential interactions the patient may have with their other medications.

Controlled substances are drugs considered to have the highest misuse and use disorder potential and thus have the strictest regulation and prescription requirements on a federal and state level. To prescribe a controlled substance, a clinician must have a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) license. A pharmacy must also have a controlled substance license to fill a prescription. Schedule I medications (eg, heroin) are unable to be prescribed or filled by a pharmacist because they have no indicated medical use in the USA. Schedule II drugs are the highest level of misuse potential medications that a clinician may prescribe; these drugs traditionally were only allowed to be filled by paper prescription. However, they are now prescribable via electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS). Schedule III-V medications may be prescribed by a clinician via traditional paper prescription, by a verbal order over the phone, or by using the EPCS system.[1][2]

The EPCS was implemented in 2010 by the DEA, which stated that clinicians might submit controlled substance prescriptions electronically and that pharmacies could dispense these electronic prescriptions. Using the EPCS from a clinician and pharmacy standpoint is voluntary, and each party may choose to use the system. However, some states, such as New York, make electronic prescribing mandatory, with certain exceptions. Practitioners may still write and sign prescriptions for schedule II-V medications; verbal orders are only permitted for schedule III-V medications. Implementing electronic prescribing has significantly reduced the number of medication errors from a prescription standpoint (legibility, dosage, frequency, etc.).[2][3]

There are legal limits on the number of refills and the number dispensed with a prescription. For a schedule III-V drug, the maximum refills are 5, and the quantity limit is 90 days supply per allocation. Schedule II drugs have zero refills; the maximum amount dispensed is 30 days supply.[4]

The Institute of Safe Medicinal Practice (ISMP) publishes a List of Error-Prone Abbreviations, Symbols, and Dose Designations, which contains abbreviations, symbols, and dose designations that have been documented through the ISMP National Medication Errors Reporting Program (ISMP MERP) and have been interpreted wrong and involved in harmful or potentially harmful medication errors. These abbreviations, dose designations, and symbols should never be used by any clinicians or pharmacists for communication of prescriptions verbally, electronically, or in handwritten prescriptions. ISMP may be contacted at the address below for reporting any close calls, errors, or hazards by calling 800-FAIL-SAFE, the ISMP Web site (www.ismp.org), or via e-mail at ismp...@ismp.org.[5]

Controlled substances are prescribed by a variety of clinicians, including physicians, dentists, advanced practice providers, and podiatrists. The prescribing practitioner must possess authorization from the DEA and have practicing rights within the prescribed origin's given location.
