Tap to reveal answer↕
Answer
A.Up to 5 refills within 6 months
B.Up to 11 refills within 12 months
C.None - Schedule II prescriptions may not be refilled
D.Unlimited refills as long as the prescriber authorizes them
Federal law prohibits refills on Schedule II prescriptions entirely; a new prescription is required each time. A describes the Schedule III-V refill limit, not Schedule II. B and D are not accurate under any schedule.
