Which statement about Schedule II controlled substances transfer is true?

Which statement about Schedule II controlled substances transfer is true?

• A. They cannot be transferred and are ineligible for refill.
• B. They can be transferred between pharmacies for refill.
• C. They can be transferred but only within the same facility.
• D. They require satellite registration.

Answer: (A)

Schedule II substances have strict transfer rules. They cannot be refilled, and if a prescription needs to be moved, it can be transferred to another pharmacy, but only one time, so that the receiving pharmacy can dispense the medication. This transfer can occur between different pharmacies, not just within the same facility, and satellite registration is not required for this process. So the true point is that these drugs may be transferred between pharmacies for dispensing (with a one-time transfer limit), while the other statements misstate the transfer rules or requirements.
