What is the pharmacist's corresponding responsibility under the CSA?

  1. To provide as many controlled substances as requested

  2. They have no responsibility

  3. To ensure prescriptions are for medical vs non-medical uses

  4. To automatically refill controlled substances

The correct answer is: To ensure prescriptions are for medical vs non-medical uses

The pharmacist's responsibility under the CSA is to ensure that prescriptions for controlled substances are for legitimate medical uses as opposed to non-medical uses. While they do have a responsibility to fill prescriptions, it is not their responsibility to provide as many controlled substances as requested without regard to the medical necessity or intended use. Similarly, they are not allowed to automatically refill controlled substances without the approval or authorization of the prescribing physician. B is incorrect because pharmacists do have a responsibility under the CSA.
