When a pharmacist receives a verbal prescription for a drug in the Controlled Prescription Program (CPP), must the pharmacist wait to receive a faxed or hard copy of the CPP duplicate prescription form before dispensing the drug?

A pharmacist may dispense the CPP drug after receiving a verbal prescription. The pharmacy must receive the original prescription form, or a copy of the completed form transmitted by facsimile, from the practitioner as soon as reasonably possible after dispensing the drug.
