receive at the drugstore or through mail order,<BR>especially since they are usually not a maintenance med where you'd be<BR>getting the full bottle as packaged by the manufacturer. Those are<BR>already labeled with a C and the appropriate schedule number, II, III,<BR>IV, or IV. So we are back to square one on identification. The real<BR>solution is to get a change in the DEA regulations so they can go back<BR>through a consumer mail back program. <BR><BR>Best regards, <BR><BR>Charlotte A. Smith, R.
