Final answer:
Under the Controlled Substances Act, C III - C V prescriptions can have up to 5 refills within six months from the date of issue if authorized by the prescriber. None of the given options are correct, but the closest incorrect option provided is 'Unlimited refills'.
Step-by-step explanation:
Under the Controlled Substances Act, prescriptions for drugs in schedules C III - C V can have up to 5 refills within six months from the date of issue, as long as the prescribing practitioner authorizes those refills on the original prescription or through an oral authorization that is promptly reduced to writing. Therefore, among the options provided:
- 0 refills
- 1 refill
- 3 refills
- Unlimited refills
Option 3: 5 refills within six months, would be the correct answer if it were listed. Since it is not listed and the closest to the actual number is the "Unlimited refills" option which is incorrect, none of the given options accurately represent the refill policy for C III - C V prescriptions.
