To make three(3) identical prescriptions. In triplicate prescribing, the physician keeps one copy of the prescription for five years and sends two copies with the patient to the pharmacist. The pharmacist keeps one copy and forwards the third to a specified state agency. Here the prescription is used to track the physician's prescribing practices and the patient's use of the controlled substances.

What doctors can prescribe triplicate prescriptions?

It depends on what you mean by "triplicate" prescription. Are they writing three prescriptions or are they writing out the third prescription for the same medication. Assuming the former, if the doctor deems it medically necessary to give you three prescriptions, they absolutely can. On the latter, yes and no, the Doctor would be curious as to why your medicine keeps disappearing and depending on the type of prescription (mainly narcotics) can only prescribe so many per a certain time.
