Tamper-Proof Rx Paper Required by Federal Law

Effective October 1, 2007, Federal Law requires that all medical prescription pads be printed on tamper proof paper.

To be considered tamper resistant on October 1, 2007,
a prescription must contain at least one of the following three characteristics:

1) one or more industry-recognized features designed to prevent unauthorized copying of a completed or blank prescription form;
2) one or more industry-recognized features designed to prevent the erasure or modification of information written on the prescription by the prescriber;
3) one or more industry-recognized features designed to prevent the use of counterfeit prescription forms.
