flexed1 said:Snarf I had to have a special script form for the morphine. i also had the same form for oxy after my hospital surgery stay however never for norco, percocet, vicadin etc.
Most states, including Texas, require a special form for a CII narcotic. There are more stringent prescirbing guidelines federally mandated for these drugs. For example, your doc can only write for a 30 day supply and can't call a script into the pharmacy like they would an antibiotic. The regs vary a little state by state. Percocet is also a CII like your morphine and OxyContin. It contains oxycodone, like OxyCOntin which is also equipotent to morphine.
For CIII narcotics (Vicodin, Lortab, Lorcet, etc) they can write these on a regular Rx pad with fewer restrictions.
Hope this helps.
