To Jule CPhT from CA Re: To CPhT Re: schedule V log

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

 

ACTUALLY it was a GREAT help because you have proven once again that much

depends upon the state.

 

Thanks for going the extra mile in asking you PIC.

 

If anyone out there has a CV log book please let us know. I mentioned behind the

counter drugs.

There once was a specific amount of codeine that is so small that it could be

sold OTC but was kept BTC, But it had to have a signature logbook. I believe Ak

and Kentucky were two two the several states (mostly southern) that allowed

this. They still may do so, but about 5 yrs ago when we had this topic pop up we

heard that most RPh's   would not sell w/o a  Rx even though they could.

With the  CURES. Controlled Utilization Review and EvaluationSystem

In place in California and Ca never allowing any controlled substance to be

OTC/BTC we do not have the book either.

 

But we do have the logbook for the CMEA.

 

Jule can you comment on this in CA? Am I correct on this? 

 

Thanks

Jeanetta

Hi J,

I actually looked into this question and couldn't find a solid answer. 

According the DEA website,it only says that certain CV controlled substances may

be sold over the counter. 

The last time I worked in a pharmacy that had CV log was years ago (about 26

years ago lol) and from what I remember we would ask to see ID and then the

customer would sign.  We would check the log to see that the same customer

hadn't purchased the same drug earlier in the month.  Since that time, every

pharmacy where I worked didn't sell any otc CV.  And I don't remember any

customers coming in and asking for it. 

I just called my PIC and she said she remembers when she graduated (about 10

years ago) we were required to have a signature log and to retain it for 7

years.  But that same year, the NJ-BOP did away with requiring a signature. 

All the same though, my pharmacy doesn't sell those products anyway.

Sorry, that wasn't much help at all.

sign it. If we have to comply with the most strict regulation State VS Federal,

why can we sign?
