Extract from hospital record
Hi, the pharmacist is unable to write out an "A-prep" in the sentence below, s/he needed one of the doctors in the emergency dept. to prescribe. Can anyone shed some light what an "A-prep" is? Takk!
"Farmasøyt fra apoteket .. kan ikke skrive ut et A-prep på en vanlig reseptblankett."
"Farmasøyt fra apoteket .. kan ikke skrive ut et A-prep på en vanlig reseptblankett."

Schedule II - CD
CD is short for controlled drug.
Substances subject to the full controlled drug requirements; e.g. Cannabis, diamorphine (heroin), pethidine, cocaine, methadone, methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, fentanyl and oxycodone. Under the Act, a prescription for these drugs need to show full details including the form and strength of the preparation, with the total quantity written out in both words and figures. It is an offence for a doctor to issue an incomplete prescription or for a pharmacist to dispense a controlled drug unless all the required details are given.
