What is the life duration of a C-II prescription?

A C-II prescription is valid for one year from the date of issue and cannot be refilled. This duration aligns with federal regulations, which restrict the refilling of Schedule II medications due to their high potential for abuse and dependency. Once a C-II prescription is issued, patients can obtain the medication only once and must get a new prescription for any further refills. This regulation is crucial to ensure proper monitoring and control over the distribution and use of these controlled substances, thereby helping to mitigate the risks associated with their overuse or misuse.
