Soon we'll have to escribe all meds, so this isn't going to work well in our office. State law is that midlevels can RX 3 months of schedule IV drugs. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this? MD's are able to escribe Schedule II and IV without issue (aside from it being cumbersome). Thanks. David Lee, MD IM Dallas, TX David Lee, MD IM Dallas, TX

I'm making patients who use those services get their controlled drugs locally. I use the AC prescription writer, but print the Rx's on paper Tom Duncan Family Practice Astoria OR
