Prescribers must check CURES before prescribing Schedule II-IV prescriptions for the first time and every how many months after if the medication is part of the patient’s treatment?

Regular CURES checks are required when prescribing Schedule II–IV medications to help detect misuse and overlapping prescriptions. You must check CURES before the initial prescription, and if the medication is part of ongoing treatment, you must re-check every four months. This cadence aligns with typical renewal cycles for chronic therapy, providing ongoing monitoring without overburdening clinicians.
