Delaware Compliance Details
In addition to the federal requirements, Delaware state law requires every prescription written in this State by a practitioner shall be written on a statewide authorized tamper-resistant prescription form. This section shall not apply to prescriptions generated within a licensed medical facility that results in the internal dispensing of prescription drugs to any patient receiving treatment in that facility, nor to tamper-resistant prescription forms electronically generated within a licensed medical facility that meet the criteria established by the rules and regulations promulgated under that section. “Statewide tamper-resistant prescription pads” shall be defined as a prescription pad, which has been authorized by the State for use, and meets the following criteria:
- Prevention of unauthorized copying,
- Prevention of erasure or modification; and
- An ability to prevent counterfeit prescription forms.
The Delaware Division of Professional Regulation supplies Security Codes to all authorized purchasers in Delaware. When placing orders, purchasers must provide their Security Code to the vendor.
