What must prescribers do to dispense controlled substances?

  1. Provide a medical certificate

  2. Register with DEA and state

  3. Have at least 10 years of medical practice

  4. Complete a special pharmacology course

The correct answer is: Register with DEA and state

Prescribers must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and their state in order to dispense controlled substances. A medical certificate alone is not sufficient for prescribing controlled substances. Having a certain number of years of medical practice or completing a special pharmacology course do not guarantee the ability to dispense controlled substances. Therefore, option B is the only accurate and necessary requirement for dispensing controlled substances.
