How many times can a CIII-IV prescription be refilled?

3 times
5 times
7 times
10 times

The correct answer is: 5 times

A prescription for a substance classified as a Schedule III (CIII) or Schedule IV (CIV) controlled substance can be refilled up to five times within a six-month period from the date it was issued. This is established by both federal and state regulations, which allow for these specific quantities of refills to manage patient medication needs while still providing oversight for controlled substances. In this context, options indicating a lower number of refills, such as three or seven, do not align with the established guidelines. Similarly, the choice of ten refills exceeds the legal limitation set for these schedules. Thus, the correct answer reflects the maximum allowable refills, ensuring safe and responsible dispensing of controlled substances while adhering to legal requirements.
