Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Can pharmacists fill prescriptions for medications covered under the M3P program written by authorized prescribers from another province?

1. Yes, if the prescriber is licensed in Manitoba

2. No, prescriptions must be from Manitoba licensed prescribers only

3. Yes, if the prescribe is authorized and complies with their jurisdiction's requirements

4. Only if the patient is a resident of Manitoba

The correct answer is: Yes, if the prescribe is authorized and complies with their jurisdiction's requirements

Pharmacists can fill prescriptions from authorized prescribers from another province under the M3P program as long as the prescriber is authorized and follows their own jurisdiction's requirements. This means that the prescriber must be licensed in their own province and comply with their own regulations. Option A is incorrect because the prescriber does not need to be licensed in Manitoba specifically. Option B is incorrect because the M3P program does allow for prescriptions from out-of-province prescribers. Option D is incorrect because the residency of the patient does not affect the authorization of the prescriber.
