Does anyone know where I can find the federal regulations that provide the details on how controlled substances are to be prescribed in the United States, under the Controlled Substances Act?
I found some information at the following URL, but it just includes the relevant sections of the United States Code.
http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/agency/csa.htm
The information I am trying to find would give me the answer to questions such as the following:
(1) Are there any regulations that only allow a doctor to prescribe a one month (i.e., a 30-day) supply of medications regulated under the Controlled Substances Act?
(2) What are the followup paperwork requirements when a doctor phones in a prescription for a controlled substance in an emergency situation?
Thanks for your help!
