According to the Indiana Generic Drug Act, which statement is false?

The statement that is identified as false pertains to the requirement of having two signature lines on all prescriptions written in Indiana. Under the Indiana Generic Drug Act, while it is true that prescriptions may indicate whether substitution is permitted through the use of "Dispense As Written" (DAW) and "May Substitute" designations, not all prescriptions are mandated to include these two specific signature lines.

In practice, the use of DAW codes helps to clarify the prescribing physician’s intent regarding generic versus brand-name substitutions. However, there is no statutory requirement that every single prescription must feature both of these designations. Instead, it is sufficient for the prescriber to indicate their preferences, and this can sometimes be accomplished through a single DAW indication or even through verbal communication in certain situations.

Thus, the assertion that all Indiana prescriptions must display these signature lines is incorrect, making it the false statement within the context of the Indiana Generic Drug Act. This understanding is important for pharmacists to ensure compliance while also facilitating proper medication dispensing according to patient care needs and legal requirements.
