 the prescription.
    b.  (2)  The practitioner shall provide verbal verification
 of the electronic prescription upon the request of the
 pharmacy.
    3.  a.c.  (1)  If facsimile, in addition to the

 drug that is a controlled substance as defined in section
 124.101, up to the total number of dosage units authorized by
