64 Pharmacist must retain or further mark prescriptions for Schedule 8 poisons
(1) This regulation applies if a pharmacist supplies a Schedule 8 poison in accordance with any of the following—
(a) a prescription;
(b) a copy of a prescription;
(c) an order of a registered medical practitioner, veterinary practitioner, dentist, nurse practitioner or an authorised midwife.
(2) If the prescription, copy or order does not authorise any further quantity of the Schedule 8 poison, the pharmacist must—
(a) retain, in a manner that maintains its integrity—
(i) the prescription, copy or order; or
(ii) if the pharmacist is required, by an Act of a State, a Territory or the Commonwealth, to submit the prescription, copy or order to a public authority, a legible copy of it; or
(b) if there are other poisons or controlled substances that may still be legally supplied on the prescription, copy or order, ensure that it is durably marked in such a way that it can be clearly seen that further supplies of the Schedule 8 poison are not allowed.
