How many transfers can be done with a CIII, CIV, and CV drug?

Only one transfer
Two transfers
Unlimited transfers
Only between retail pharmacies

The correct answer is: Only one transfer

CIII, CIV, and CV controlled substances can be transferred between pharmacies under specific regulations. Federal law permits the transfer of these substances one time only, provided that the pharmacies are under the same ownership or that they are individually registered. This means that after one transfer has occurred, any further transfers cannot be made. The one-time transfer rule is designed to maintain a proper chain of custody for controlled substances and to minimize the risks of misuse or diversion. It ensures that a clear and documented trail remains in place regarding the distribution of these medications. While the option discussing "Only between retail pharmacies" might suggest that transfers can only occur in certain settings, the limitation is indeed on the number of transfers, rather than the types of pharmacies involved. Therefore, the correct understanding of transfer limitations for CIII, CIV, and CV medications is that only one transfer is allowed.
