Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Alprazolam, a Schedule IV controlled substance, can be transferred between pharmacies for refills under federal law, as long as it is not a refillable prescription. This allows for greater access to necessary medications while maintaining regulatory compliance.

In contrast, Methylphenidate (Schedule II) and both Fentanyl and Hydromorphone (Schedule II) are subject to stricter regulations; they cannot be transferred once filled, as they are considered to have a higher potential for abuse. Thus, they are not eligible for refill transfers, ensuring tighter control over their distribution.
