At the pharmacy the pharmacist, Lisa, called Dr. Smith to ensure that he actually wrote the prescription. Lisa does this before dispensing controlled substances to ensure the prescriptions are not fake. Sometimes addicts submit fake prescriptions that were not written by a qualified physician or health care provider to attempt to purchase controlled substances illegally. After Dr. Smith verified he had written the prescription, Lisa removed the phenobarbital from a locked cabinet and counted out Jaina s pills. These are some of the precautions pharmacists take when dispensing controlled substances, to prevent abusers from obtaining them illegally or stealing them from the pharmacy. 

Induction of ovulation in mares may be stimulated by the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This has physiological actions similar to LH but differs structurally in both protein and carbohydrate content. It is produced by the human placenta and is extracted commercially from the urine of pregnant women. hCG may be administered to mares in the transitional period to stimulate ovulation. A dose of 3300 lU administered to mares with a follicle of >40 mm in diameter and signs of estrus that have been present for more than 3 days hastens the first ovulation of the season by approximately 1 week compared with control mares (Ball 2000a). In some states of the USA, hCG is a controlled substance that requires a special license for purchase and use.

Completely Denatured Alcohol. Completely denatured alcohol (CD A) escapes the involved financial and administrative controls required of the other classifications of industrial ethanol. No tax is appHed, no bond is required, no permit is needed to enable a customer to purchase CD A. Requirements for records by both producer and user are minimal. These simplified regulations are possible because CDA is denatured with substances that render it totally unfit for beverage purposes. It is also unsuitable where odor is objectionable. CDA and products made from it are, however, governed by special labeling requirements of the BATE. Repackaging of completely denatured alcohol is permitted as long as labeling requirements are met.
