When refilling a Schedule III (C3) or Schedule IV (C4) prescription, how long is the prescription valid from the date of issuance?

3 months
6 months
12 months
9 months

The correct answer is: 3 months

A Schedule III (C3) or Schedule IV (C4) prescription is valid for a period of three months from the date of issuance. This timeframe serves as a balance between ensuring availability of necessary medication and preventing potential abuse and misuse. While Option B, C, and D may seem like possible answers, they are not correct as they all exceed the maximum validity period for these types of prescriptions. Option B, 6 months, is double the maximum validity period while Option C, 12 months, is quadruple the time frame. Option D, 9 months, is not a valid period recognized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). So when refilling a Schedule III or Schedule IV prescription, remember that it is valid for only three months from the date of issuance.
