Lorazepam cannot be sent to a pharmacy electronically, let me get you the pharmacist so you can call it in instead. Due to a recent re-evaluation of the Controlled Substance Act, prescriptions for schedule 3-5 drugs cannot be sent by fax or email. They can only be called in by telephone or delivered in person.
