Multiple Prescriptions of a Schedule II CS
The federal rule allows a practitioner to provide a patient with
multiple prescriptions on the same day for the same Schedule II
controlled substance (CS) to be filled sequentially. There is no
federal or state limit on the amount a prescriber can prescribe, but
when a prescriber issues multiple prescriptions of the same drug
on the same day, the combined amount shall not exceed a 90-day
supply. It is up to the prescriber to determine how many separate
prescriptions to write. For example, a prescriber may issue three
30-day Schedule II prescriptions to cover the 90 days, or he or she
may issue nine 10-day Schedule II prescriptions to cover the 90
days. Each prescription must be individually written on a separate
prescription. Once the prescription is filled, the inspector would
expect to find either three separate canceled prescriptions or nine
canceled prescriptions.
