Answer 1

Ans) A standard prescription is valid for 6 months from the date on the prescription, unless the medicine prescribed contains a controlled medicine. The date on the prescription can be: the date it was signed by the health professional who issued it, or.

Phenobarbital is a schedule IV controlled substance.

- According to the federal regulations, controlled medications like Schedules III and IV can only be refilled early on an authorized prescription or usually as early as two days for a 30-day supply. State and local laws may vary slightly as to when you can refill Schedule 3 and 4 drugs.

- Schedule III and IV controlled substances cannot be filled or refilled more than 5 times or more than 6 months after the date the prescription was issued, whichever occurs first.
