Dispensing data for Schedule II-IV drugs must be submitted to CURES on a basis that is:

CURES is California’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, which collects dispensing data for Schedule II–IV controlled substances to help detect misuse and support safer prescribing. The data must be submitted on a weekly basis, meaning the pharmacy compiles the week’s dispensing and transmits it to CURES within that weekly cycle. This cadence keeps information reasonably current for providers and authorities without imposing an excessive administrative burden on pharmacies. Daily submissions would be more burdensome, while monthly or quarterly submissions would leave longer gaps, reducing the program’s effectiveness. The data typically include who the patient is, what drug and dose was dispensed, the quantity, the prescriber, the dispensing pharmacy, and the date of dispensing.
