(2) A PHARMACIST MAY CHOOSE THE METHOD OF FURNISHING A REFERENCE COPY OF A PRESCRIPTION, UNLESS SUCH METHOD REVEALS AN INTENT TO CIRCUMVENT 59 O.S. 1975 Supp., 354 [59-354] OF THE STATUTES WHICH IN EFFECT RESULTS IN A REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST FOR A REFERENCE COPY OF THE PRESCRIPTION. (3) A PHARMACIST IS REQUIRED TO TRANSMIT ALL INFORMATION SET FORTH IN 59 O.S. 1971 353.1 [59-353.1], TOGETHER WITH ALL DIRECTIONS RECEIVED FROM THE PRESCRIBING DOCTOR.
