Schedule IV and V rules allow which of the following?

• A. Faxed and oral transmission with up to 90-day supply and up to five refills.
• B. Never faxed; require in-person visits only.
• C. No refills allowed.
• D. Electronic transmission only.

Answer: (A)

Schedule IV and Schedule V drugs have more flexible dispensing rules than higher‑risk controls. Specifically, a prescription for these substances can be transmitted to the pharmacy by fax or given as an oral order, rather than requiring an in‑person visit. In addition, such prescriptions may cover up to a 90‑day supply and may be refilled up to five times within the allowed six‑month window from the date written. This combination—permit faxed or oral transmission plus a 90‑day supply with up to five refills—fits the federal framework for C-IV and C-V medications. The other statements misstate either the transmission method (requiring in‑person only or electronic transmission only) or the refill allowance (no refills), which is why they’re not correct.
