True or False: Signed C3-5 prescriptions can be faxed.

The statement is true because in the context of federal regulations, prescriptions for controlled substances in schedules III, IV, and V can indeed be faxed directly to a pharmacy. This applies as long as the faxed prescription is from a practitioner’s office directly to the pharmacy or is being sent to a pharmacy as a refill for a controlled substance. The pharmacy must ensure that the prescription is a legitimate order for medication and that it adheres to all relevant state and federal regulations.

Additionally, faxing prescriptions can facilitate timely medication access for patients, especially in situations where the patient cannot physically bring a prescription to the pharmacy. This method of prescription transmission is well-accepted in practice, provided that the pharmacist verifies the prescription and its authenticity through other means if necessary. Thus, the option stating that signed C3-5 prescriptions can be faxed reflects the correct understanding of the regulations surrounding controlled substance prescriptions, making it true.
