Office Use in Kansas


Office Use Prescriptions
The Board has been asked on occasion whether
an “office use” prescription is valid. The answer is
no. Medications prescribed must be dispensed to a
patient. When medication is sent from a pharmacy to a
practitioner for administration, the transfer is considered
a distribution.
The transfer of a prescription medication is permitted
from one pharmacy to another pharmacy or practitioner.
The transfer must be documented with an invoice record.
The invoice record must have the name, strength, form of
the medication, the name and address of both the seller
and the purchaser, and the date of the sale. This record
should be maintained for five years with your pharmacy
records.
If the transfer is a controlled substance, the invoice
must also include the DEA number of both the seller
and the purchaser. If the medication is a Schedule II
medication, the purchaser must provide a DEA Form 222
to the seller before the transfer is completed.
A retail pharmacy may transfer prescription drugs to
another retail pharmacy to alleviate a temporary shortage,
except that the gross dollar value of these transfers
shall not exceed 5% of the total prescription-only drug
sales revenue of either the transferor or the transferee
pharmacy during any period of 12 consecutive months.
If a pharmacy is selling more than 5% they should be
registered as a wholesale distributor
