As an “Authorised Seller of Poisons (ASP)” (pharmacy), what specific prescription requirements apply when we sell Part I poisons?

As an authorised pharmacy, you must dispense Part I poisons strictly in accordance with a prescription issued by a qualified registered medical practitioner, dentist or veterinary surgeon. The prescription must be lawful and complete. Specific requirements include: 1. It must be written in indelible form. 2. It must include the date of issue, the patient's full name and address, and the prescribing practitioner's name, address and signature. 3. It must clearly state the name of the medicine to be dispensed, dosage instructions and total quantity to be supplied. 4. For certain strictly controlled dangerous drugs, the patient's identity card number may also be required on the prescription. Before dispensing, the pharmacist is responsible for verifying the prescription's authenticity and reasonableness. If there is any doubt, such as an unusual dosage or suspected forgery, the pharmacist must contact the prescriber for confirmation before dispensing.
