Hi Chairman
>A doctor can call in a schedule III prescription to the pharmacy
That's interesting. In the UK, all prescriptions must be in writing, except in an emergency. This applies to all drugs, not just controlled drugs.
>Moreover, many states limit the number of "dosage units" you can receive per schedule II script
How ridiculous. No such restrictions exist here. A doctor could prescribe 1000 tablets if they wanted to- but they don't ;-)
>Schedule II prescriptions must be renewed every month
Sch II prescriptions are valid for 13 weeks here.
