Gov. Doug Ducey (R) signed into law HB 2633 amending the Opioid Law enacted earlier this year during a Special Session. The newly enacted law eliminates the need for pharmacists to verify with the prescriber when a prescription exceeds the state limit for Scheduled II controlled substances containing opioids, eliminates pharmacists having to confirm with the prescriber and the Board of Pharmacy if a prescriber has received a waiver and allows the Board of Pharmacy to waive redcap requirements if it’s not feasible because of specific dosage form or type of packaging.
