Are pharmacists allowed to fill methadone prescriptions for maintenance doses?

Yes, if prescribed for pain
No, unless for withdrawal symptoms
Yes, in all cases
No, except in hospitals

The correct answer is: No, unless for withdrawal symptoms

While pharmacists are allowed to fill prescriptions for methadone, they are only allowed to do so for maintenance doses if the prescription is for the purpose of managing withdrawal symptoms. Prescriptions for methadone for pain management or in all cases are not valid for maintenance doses and would not be allowed to be filled by a pharmacist. Although methadone can be used in hospitals for maintenance doses, this is not always the case and does not apply to all situations. Therefore, the most accurate and complete option is B - "No, unless for withdrawal symptoms."
