In Delaware, what is the maximum number of refills allowed for a Schedule II prescription?

In Delaware, and in accordance with federal regulations, there are no refills allowed for a Schedule II prescription. Schedule II substances are those that are considered to have a high potential for abuse, leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. As such, the law is very strict regarding their distribution to ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of misuse.

When a healthcare provider prescribes a Schedule II medication, the prescription must be filled within a certain timeframe, and once filled, the patient must return to their healthcare provider for a new prescription for any subsequent supplies. This means that for any Schedule II drugs, patients must get a new prescription for each fill rather than being able to obtain refills. This regulation reflects the serious nature of the substances in this category and the emphasis on careful management of their use.
