True or False: A logbook can be utilized to track Sudafed sales if the tracking system fails.

A logbook serves as an alternative method of tracking sales when an electronic tracking system, such as a point of sale (POS) system specifically designed for monitoring the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine (like Sudafed), fails. This is significant because tracking the sales of pseudoephedrine is a legal requirement to prevent misuse and combat illegal activities such as methamphetamine production.

In scenarios where electronic systems are inoperative, utilizing a logbook allows pharmacists or pharmacy staff to maintain compliance with regulations while ensuring that all sales are accurately recorded. This manual tracking must still adhere to all regulatory guidelines related to the sale of controlled substances, emphasizing the importance of maintaining records even when technology is unavailable. This method is practical and reinforces the pharmacy’s commitment to responsible medication dispensing and adherence to the law.

The context around the other options highlights that only management permission or limitations on the usage of a logbook would be necessary if the situation indicated longer-term system failures or additional constraints, but in general, using a logbook during system failures aligns with legal requirements for tracking these sales.
