Can any pharmacist dispense methadone without special training?

  1. Yes, if they are experienced

  2. No, they must be extensively knowledgeable

  3. Only with patient consent

  4. Yes, in emergencies

The correct answer is: No, they must be extensively knowledgeable

Pharmacists are required to have specialized training and knowledge to properly dispense medications, especially highly regulated ones like methadone. Option A and D are incorrect because experience and emergencies do not guarantee the necessary training and knowledge needed to safely dispense methadone. Option C is incorrect because patient consent alone does not qualify a pharmacist to dispense methadone without proper training.
