Under what conditions can a pharmacist prescribe Schedule 2 or 3 drugs?
If the patient requests it
Without any conditions
If the medication is sufficient without needing a prescription from a doctor
Only with a doctor's consent
The correct answer is: If the medication is sufficient without needing a prescription from a doctor
Pharmacists are only authorized to prescribe Schedule 2 or 3 drugs under certain conditions. These conditions include the medication being sufficient on its own without a doctor's prescription, and other factors such as the patient's condition and the pharmacist's own professional judgment. B, C, and D are all incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conditions in which a pharmacist can prescribe Schedule 2 or 3 drugs. Option A is incorrect because a patient's request alone is not enough to justify a pharmacist prescribing these medications. Option D may seem plausible, but it is not accurate because a doctor's consent does not give a pharmacist the authority to prescribe these drugs. Only under the specific condition mentioned in option C can a pharmacist legally prescribe Schedule 2 or 3 drugs.
