What type of drugs can Central Fill Pharmacies not fill?

CI
CIIs
Over-the-counter medications
Controlled substances

The correct answer is: CIIs

Central Fill Pharmacies play a unique role in the pharmacy system, designed primarily to support retail pharmacies by filling prescriptions, especially those that are more time-consuming or that require specialized handling. However, there are limitations on the types of medications they can dispense. Central Fill Pharmacies are not permitted to fill prescriptions for Schedule II controlled substances, which include drugs with a high potential for abuse and severe psychological or physical dependence. This restriction is in place due to the stringent regulations surrounding the distribution and prescription of these powerful medications, requiring more direct oversight to prevent misuse. In contrast, Central Fill Pharmacies can fill prescriptions for other schedules of controlled substances (Schedule III, IV, and V), as well as non-controlled substances including over-the-counter medications. Therefore, the correct answer highlights the specific limitation that Central Fill Pharmacies face regarding Schedule II controlled substances, aligning with regulatory expectations and safety concerns in pharmaceutical practice.
