The 2007 regulation allows issuing multiple prescriptions to total up to 90 days for which schedule?

• A. Schedule I
• B. Schedule II
• C. Schedule III
• D. Schedule IV

Answer: (B)

The rule is about extending access to tightly controlled medications while keeping strict controls. For Schedule II substances, a practitioner can issue multiple prescriptions on different dates that together total up to a 90‑day supply. Each prescription is for a portion of the total and must be dispensed only as the patient needs it, with no refills allowed for Schedule II drugs. This arrangement lets patients maintain ongoing treatment without a new visit each month, but it does not let the total exceed 90 days in one cycle.

This specific 90‑day stacking option is unique to Schedule II substances. Schedule I drugs have no accepted medical use and cannot be prescribed, and Schedule III–V follow different refill and day‑supply rules that don’t use this exact 90‑day multiple‑prescription approach.
