65 Pharmacist must retain or further mark prescriptions for Schedule 9 poisons
If a pharmacist supplies a Schedule 9 poison on a prescription or order of a registered medical practitioner, veterinary practitioner or dentist and the prescription or order does not authorise any further quantity of the Schedule 9 poison, the pharmacist must—
(a) retain the prescription or order in a manner that maintains its integrity; or
(b) if there are other poisons or controlled substances that may still be legally supplied on the prescription or order, ensure that it is durably marked in such a way that it can be clearly seen that further supplies of the Schedule 9 poison are not allowed.
