Can pharmacies with a common electronic database transfer refills for controlled substances more freely?

  1. Yes, without limitations

  2. No, they are subject to the same restrictions as other pharmacies

  3. Yes, but only for Schedules III, IV, or V and under certain conditions

  4. No, controlled substances cannot be transferred

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for Schedules III, IV, or V and under certain conditions

Pharmacies with a common electronic database can transfer refills for controlled substances more freely, but with certain conditions. This is because while refills for controlled substances cannot be transferred under any circumstances, for Schedules III, IV, or V, pharmacies with a common electronic database are allowed to transfer refills as long as the receiving pharmacy has access to the same database and follows certain protocol. Option A is incorrect because there are still limitations in place for the transfer of controlled substances. Option B is incorrect because while the restrictions may be different for pharmacies with a common electronic database, they still exist. Option D is incorrect because while controlled substances cannot be transferred, there are exceptions for certain schedules and under certain conditions.
