10        (720 ILCS 570/309) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1309)
11        Sec.  309.    No  person shall issue a prescription for a
12    Schedule II controlled substance, which is  a  narcotic  drug
13    listed  in  Section  206  of  this Act; or which contains any
14    quantity of  amphetamine  or  methamphetamine,  their  salts,
15    optical  isomers  or  salts of optical isomers; phenmetrazine
16    and  its  salts;  gluthethimide;  pentazocine;  or  which  is
17    hereafter determined to be a "designated product," as defined
18    in Section 102 of this Act,  other  than  on  a  written  the
19    official  prescription  blank issued by the Department and no
20    person shall fill any such prescription  other  than  on  the
21    official   prescription   blank  issued  by  the  Department;
22    provided that in the case of  an  emergency,  epidemic  or  a
23    sudden or unforeseen accident or calamity, the prescriber may
24    issue  a  lawful  oral prescription or transmit via facsimile
25    equipment  a  written  prescription  order   or   a   written
26    prescription  on a blank other than the official prescription
27    blank issued by the Department where failure to issue such  a
28    prescription   might  result  in  loss  of  life  or  intense
29    suffering,  but  such  oral  prescription  shall  include   a
30    statement have endorsed thereon by the prescriber a statement
31    concerning   the   accident  or  calamity,  or  circumstances
 
HB2574 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9104866DJcd
 1    constituting the emergency, the cause  for  which  a  written
 2    prescription  the unofficial blank was used.  Within 72 hours
 3    after issuing an emergency prescription, the prescriber shall
 4    cause a written prescription  on  the  official  prescription
 5    blank  for  the emergency quantity prescribed to be delivered
 6    to the dispensing pharmacist.  The  prescription  shall  have
 7    written on its face "Authorization for Emergency Dispensing",
 8    and  the  date  of  the  emergency  prescription. The written
 9    prescription  on  the  official  prescription  blank  may  be
10    delivered to the pharmacist in person,  or  by  mail  or  via
11    facsimile  equipment,  but  if  delivered  by mail it must be
12    postmarked within  the  72-hour  period.  Upon  receipt,  the
13    dispensing  pharmacist  shall attach this prescription to the
14    emergency oral prescription earlier received and , or in  the
15    case  of  an  oral  prescription,  reduced  to  writing.  The
16    dispensing pharmacist shall notify the  Department  of  Human
17    Services if the prescriber fails to deliver the authorization
18    for  emergency  dispensing on the official prescription blank
19    to him.  Failure of the dispensing pharmacist to do so  shall
20    void  the  authority  conferred by this paragraph to dispense
21    without a written prescription on  an  official  prescription
22    blank  of  a  prescriber.  All  prescriptions on the official
23    blanks shall be written in triplicate and  all  three  copies
24    signed  by  the  prescriber.   All  prescriptions  issued for
25    Schedule  II  controlled  substances  shall  include  both  a
26    written and numerical notation of quantity on the face of the
27    prescription.  No prescription for a Schedule  II  controlled
28    substance may be refilled.

 5    III,  IV, or V substances to any person either upon receiving
 6    a facsimile of a written, signed prescription transmitted  by

 8    oral prescription of a  prescriber  which  oral  prescription
 9    shall  be  reduced  promptly to writing by the pharmacist and

18    pharmacist filling such oral  prescription  shall  write  the
19    date  of  filling  and  his own signature on the face of such
20    written  memorandum  thereof.   The  facsimile  copy  of  the

24    years,  so  as to be readily accessible for inspection by any
25    officer or employee engaged in the enforcement of this Act in
26    the same manner as a  written  prescription.   The  facsimile
27    copy of the prescription or oral prescription and the written
28    memorandum  thereof shall not be filled or refilled more than
29    6 months after the date thereof or be refilled  more  than  5
30    times, unless renewed, in writing, by the prescriber.

 9    substance in a  package  prepared  by  him,  and  whenever  a
10    wholesale distributor distributes a controlled substance in a
11    package  prepared  by  him  or  the  manufacturer,  he  shall
12    securely  affix  to  each  package in which that substance is
13    contained a label showing in legible  English  the  name  and
14    address   of   the  manufacturer,  the  distributor  and  the
15    quantity, kind and form  of  controlled  substance  contained
16    therein.   No  person  except  a  pharmacist and only for the
17    purposes of filling a  prescription  under  this  Act,  shall
18    alter, deface or remove any label so affixed.
19        (f)  Whenever  a  practitioner  dispenses  any controlled

32    substance has been prescribed or dispensed by a practitioner,
33    or other persons authorized under this Act, and the owner  of
34    any  animal  for  which such substance has been prescribed or

 1    dispensed  by  a  veterinarian,  may  lawfully  possess  such
 2    substance only in the container in which it was delivered  to
 3    him by the person dispensing such substance.
 4        (h)  The  responsibility  for  the  proper prescribing or
 5    dispensing of controlled substances is  upon  the  prescriber
 6    and   the   responsibility   for  the  proper  filling  of  a
 7    prescription for controlled substance drugs  rests  with  the
 8    pharmacist.   An order purporting to be a prescription issued
 9    to any individual, which is not  in  the  regular  course  of
10    professional  treatment  nor  part of an authorized methadone
11    maintenance  program,  nor  in  legitimate   and   authorized
12    research  instituted  by any accredited hospital, educational
13    institution, charitable  foundation,  or  federal,  state  or
14    local  governmental  agency, and which is intended to provide
15    that individual  with  controlled  substances  sufficient  to
16    maintain that individual's or any other individual's physical
17    or   psychological  addiction,  habitual  or  customary  use,
18    dependence, or diversion of that controlled substance is  not
19    a prescription within the meaning and intent of this Act; and
20    the  person  issuing  it,  shall  be subject to the penalties
21    provided for violations of the  law  relating  to  controlled
22    substances.
23        (i)  A  prescriber  shall  not  preprint  or  cause to be
24    preprinted a prescription for any controlled  substance;  nor
25    shall  any  practitioner issue, fill or cause to be issued or
26    filled,  a  preprinted  prescription   for   any   controlled
27    substance.
28        (j)  No  person  shall  manufacture,  dispense,  deliver,
29    possess  with  intent to deliver, prescribe, or administer or
30    cause to be administered under  his  direction  any  anabolic
31    steroid,  for  any  use in humans other than the treatment of
32    disease in accordance with the order of a physician  licensed
33    to  practice medicine in all its branches for a valid medical
34    purpose in the course of professional practice.  The  use  of
 
HB2574 Engrossed            -9-                LRB9104866DJcd
 1    anabolic  steroids  for  the purpose of hormonal manipulation
 2    that is intended to increase muscle mass, strength or  weight
 3    without  a  medical  necessity  to do so, or for the intended
 4    purpose of improving physical appearance  or  performance  in
 5    any  form of exercise, sport, or game, is not a valid medical
 6    purpose or in the course of professional practice.
