How often must pharmacies report to the PDMP?

Every week
Every 24 hours
Every month
Every 72 hours

The correct answer is: Every 24 hours

Pharmacies are required to report prescription data to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) every 24 hours. This frequent reporting is essential for tracking the dispensing of controlled substances and helps to identify and prevent prescription drug abuse. By maintaining a daily reporting schedule, the PDMP can provide timely and up-to-date information to healthcare providers and regulatory agencies, ensuring that they can make informed decisions regarding patient care and the potential for misuse of controlled substances. Timely data entry also supports law enforcement and public health initiatives aimed at addressing prescription drug misuse and overprescribing, making the 24-hour requirement a critical component of effective pharmacy practice and public health monitoring.
