 7    direct  application  of  a  controlled  substance, whether by
 8    injection, inhalation, ingestion, or any other means  to  the
 9    body  of  a  patient  or research subject. A practitioner who

11    substance  in Schedule II, which is a narcotic drug listed in
12    Section 206 of this Act, or which contains  any  quantity  of
13    amphetamine  or methamphetamine, their salts, optical isomers

20    Sections 310 and 311 of this Act.
21        (e)  Whenever a  manufacturer  distributes  a  controlled
22    substance  in  a  package  prepared  by  him,  and whenever a
23    wholesale distributor distributes a controlled substance in a
24    package  prepared  by  him  or  the  manufacturer,  he  shall
25    securely affix to each package in  which  that  substance  is
26    contained  a  label  showing  in legible English the name and
27    address  of  the  manufacturer,  the  distributor   and   the
28    quantity,  kind  and  form  of controlled substance contained
29    therein.  No person except a  pharmacist  and  only  for  the
30    purposes  of  filling  a  prescription  under this Act, shall
31    alter, deface or remove any label so affixed.
32        (f)  Whenever a  practitioner  dispenses  any  controlled
33    substance,  he  shall  affix  to  the container in which such
34    substance is sold or dispensed, a label indicating  the  date
 
                            -8-              LRB9104866DJcdam

 4    cautionary statements, if any, contained in any  prescription
 5    or  required  by  law,  the  proprietary name or names or the
 6    established name of the controlled substance, and the  dosage
 7    and quantity, except as otherwise authorized by regulation by
 8    the  Department  of Professional Regulation.  No person shall
 9    alter, deface or remove any label so affixed.
10        (g)  A person to whom or for  whose  use  any  controlled
11    substance has been prescribed or dispensed by a practitioner,
12    or  other persons authorized under this Act, and the owner of
13    any animal for which such substance has  been  prescribed  or
14    dispensed  by  a  veterinarian,  may  lawfully  possess  such
15    substance  only in the container in which it was delivered to
16    him by the person dispensing such substance.
17        (h)  The responsibility for  the  proper  prescribing  or
18    dispensing  of  controlled  substances is upon the prescriber
19    and  the  responsibility  for  the  proper   filling   of   a
20    prescription  for  controlled  substance drugs rests with the
21    pharmacist.  An order purporting to be a prescription  issued
22    to  any  individual,  which  is  not in the regular course of
23    professional treatment nor part of  an  authorized  methadone
24    maintenance   program,   nor  in  legitimate  and  authorized
25    research instituted by any accredited  hospital,  educational
26    institution,  charitable  foundation,  or  federal,  state or
27    local governmental agency, and which is intended  to  provide
28    that  individual  with  controlled  substances  sufficient to
29    maintain that individual's or any other individual's physical
30    or  psychological  addiction,  habitual  or  customary   use,
31    dependence,  or diversion of that controlled substance is not
32    a prescription within the meaning and intent of this Act; and
33    the person issuing it, shall  be  subject  to  the  penalties
34    provided  for  violations  of  the law relating to controlled
 
                            -9-              LRB9104866DJcdam
 1    substances.
 2        (i)  A prescriber shall  not  preprint  or  cause  to  be
 3    preprinted  a  prescription for any controlled substance; nor
 4    shall any practitioner issue, fill or cause to be  issued  or
 5    filled,   a   preprinted   prescription  for  any  controlled
 6    substance.
 7        (j)  No  person  shall  manufacture,  dispense,  deliver,
 8    possess with intent to deliver, prescribe, or  administer  or
 9    cause  to  be  administered  under his direction any anabolic
10    steroid, for any use in humans other than  the  treatment  of
11    disease  in accordance with the order of a physician licensed
12    to practice medicine in all its branches for a valid  medical
13    purpose  in  the course of professional practice.  The use of
14    anabolic steroids for the purpose  of  hormonal  manipulation
15    that  is intended to increase muscle mass, strength or weight
16    without a medical necessity to do so,  or  for  the  intended
17    purpose  of  improving  physical appearance or performance in
18    any form of exercise, sport, or game, is not a valid  medical
19    purpose or in the course of professional practice.
