Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What type of drugs are covered under M3P?

1. Antibiotics

2. NSAIDs

3. Controlled substances

4. Vitamins

The correct answer is: Controlled substances

M3P (or Medicare Part D) covers prescription drugs, which are typically prescribed for chronic or long-term conditions. Antibiotics, while they may require a prescription, are often used for short-term conditions and would not be covered under this part. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are typically available over-the-counter and would not be covered under this part. Vitamins, while they may be prescribed for certain conditions, are not considered prescription drugs and would not be covered under this part. Controlled substances, on the other hand, are prescription drugs that have a higher potential for abuse and therefore require tighter regulations, making them eligible for coverage under M3P.
