What is the maximum number of refills allowed for a Schedule II prescription?

A Schedule II prescription is classified under the Controlled Substances Act and is subject to the strictest regulations due to the high potential for abuse and addiction associated with these substances. According to federal law, specifically the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations, Schedule II prescriptions cannot be refilled. This means that once the prescription is filled, the patient must return to the prescriber for a new prescription to obtain additional medication. This regulation helps ensure careful monitoring of these powerful medications and minimizes the risk of misuse or dependence. As a result, the maximum number of refills allowed for a Schedule II prescription is indeed zero.
