What California prescribing and CURES rules matter for dental exam prep?

CURES review is required before the first Schedule II-IV prescribing event unless a current statutory exemption applies. For ongoing therapy, California expects a re-check at least every 6 months. Do not answer from stale five-day exemption language when the current official wording uses seven-day nonrefillable language.
