Can controlled drugs and narcotics prescriptions be transferred for packaging by a Central-Fill pharmacy without a new prescription?

This is because controlled drugs and narcotics are highly regulated and require a new prescription when transferred for packaging. This allows for proper documentation and tracking of these medications for safety and accountability purposes. Option A is incorrect because it states "always," implying that there are no exceptions. Option C is incorrect because it mentions "special permission," which is not a common practice and goes against the regulations for controlled drugs and narcotics. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that only narcotics can be transferred, when in reality, both controlled drugs and narcotics require a new prescription for transfer.
