A pharmacy may not dispense any narcotics or psychotropic substances except pursuant to a medical prescription issued by a treating physician licensed to practice human or vet-erinary medicine in the State, and which meets the conditions stipulated in Federal Decree by Law No. (38) of 2024 Regarding Medical Products, the Pharmacy Profession, and Pharmaceutical Establishments, or any law superseding it. The Chairman of the Board shall determine the narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances for which prescriptions must be recorded in the register referred to in Article (36) of this Decree by Law. A pharmacy is prohibited from dispensing such substances if the quantity stated in the prescription exceeds the limits specified in Schedule (9) annexed hereto. Nevertheless, if the patient’s condition requires exceeding such limits, the treating physi-cian must request authorization from the Competent Administrative Authority for the quantities required for that purpose.
