What is required of a pharmacy that offers methadone maintenance programs?

  1. Dispense as any other medication

  2. Least one pharmacist must be extensively knowledgeable

  3. Methadone can be self-administered by the patient

  4. No special requirements

The correct answer is: Least one pharmacist must be extensively knowledgeable

A pharmacy that offers methadone maintenance programs must have at least one pharmacist who is extensively knowledgeable about methadone. This is because methadone is a highly regulated and controlled medication, and pharmacists must have a thorough understanding of its proper dispensing, side effects, and potential interactions. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not address the specific knowledge and expertise needed to properly dispense methadone. Option D is also incorrect because the pharmacy must meet certain requirements and regulations to be able to offer methadone maintenance programs.
