What additional labeling is required for CII prescriptions?

The correct response is that the date of fill is specifically required for all controlled substances, including Schedule II (CII) prescriptions, as part of the labeling standards. This requirement helps in tracking the dispensing history of the medication, ensuring that both pharmacists and patients are aware of when the medication was dispensed.

Labeling for CII prescriptions must include essential information to ensure compliance with the law and to facilitate proper medication management. The inclusion of the date of fill allows for better monitoring of prescription use, helping to prevent misuse and ensuring accountability in the dispensing process.

While the date of birth of the patient and the prescription number may be included on the label for organizational or identification purposes, they are not mandated by regulations concerning the essential labeling requirements for CII prescriptions. Hence, the absence of the latter two elements does not disregard the integrity of the prescription as long as the crucial information such as the date of fill is present.
