(b) Such prescription shall be written with ink, indelible pencil, typewriter, or by other electronic means approved by the department, and shall be signed by the practitioner. Electronic prescriptions may be created, signed, and transmitted electronically provided the practitioner complies with all other requirements for issuing a prescription for a controlled substance in this Part and with federal requirements for electronic prescribing of controlled substances. The prescription shall contain the following: (1) name, sex, address and age of the ultimate user for whom the substance is intended, or, if the ultimate user is an animal, the species of such animal and the name and address of the owner or person in custody of such animal; (2) the printed name, address, Drug Enforcement Administration registration number, telephone number and handwritten signature of the prescribing practitioner. The printed name of the prescriber who has signed the prescription shall be imprinted or stamped legibly and conspicuously on the prescription, shall appear in an appropriate location on the prescription form and shall not be entered in or upon the space or line reserved for the prescriber’s signature. The imprinted or stamped name shall not be a substitute for or fulfill any legal requirement otherwise mandating that the prescription be signed by the prescriber; (3) specific directions for use, including, but not limited to the dosage and frequency of dosage and the maximum daily dosage; and (4) the date upon which such prescription was prepared and actually signed by the prescribing practitioner. A prescription shall be dated as of, and signed on, the date it is issued. (5) the quantity of dosage units prescribed. On an official New York State prescription, the quantity of dosage units prescribed shall be indicated in both numerical and written word form.

(8) a section wherein prescribers may indicate whether an individual is limited English proficient, as defined in section sixty-eight hundred twenty-nine of the education law; and if the patient is limited English proficient, a specification of the preferred language indicated by the patient. Failure to include such indication on the part of the prescriber shall not invalidate the prescription. (c) Except as provided for in subdivision (d) of this section, no such prescription shall be made for a quantity of substances which would exceed a 30-day supply if the substance were used in accordance with the directions for use, specified on the prescription. No additional prescriptions for a controlled substance may be issued by a practitioner to an ultimate user within 30 days of the date of any prescription previously issued unless and until the ultimate user has exhausted all but a seven days’ supply of that controlled substance provided by any previously issued prescription. (d) (1) A practitioner may issue a prescription for up to a three month supply of a controlled substance, including chorionic gonadotropin, or up to a six month supply of an anabolic steroid if used in accordance with the directions for use, provided that the prescription has been issued for the treatment of: (i) panic disorders, designated as code A; (ii) attention deficit disorder, designated as code B;
