Protect Your Pharmacy from Costly Risks
Dispensing controlled substances isn’t just a routine task—it’s a serious responsibility. Every prescription for a controlled substance must meet the DEA’s requirement of being issued for a legitimate medical purpose. While most prescribers are reputable, one careless or unethical practitioner can trigger investigations, fines, or even the loss of your pharmacy’s DEA registration.
Retail chains, independent pharmacies, and wholesale drug distributors are increasingly under scrutiny in the fight against the prescription drug abuse crisis. That’s why it’s critical to go beyond the prescription pad and look behind the script.
Trust, But Verify
With little publicly available data to judge a prescriber’s legitimacy, pharmacists need a reliable way to evaluate the practitioners behind controlled substance scripts. The solution? PCG’s Know Your Prescriber service.
This specialized verification program empowers DEA Registrants with critical insights to make safer dispensing decisions—protecting both your license and your business.
