How many refills are allowed for Schedule III and IV controlled substances in West Virginia?

  1. 3 refills

  2. 5 refills

  3. 6 refills

  4. Unlimited refills

The correct answer is: 3 refills

In West Virginia, Schedule III and IV controlled substances can have a maximum of five refills, as per federal regulations. The limit is designed to ensure proper monitoring of the use of these medications, which can still have the potential for abuse and dependence, even though they are considered less risky compared to Schedule I and II substances. Choosing three refills would underrepresent the actual allowance set forth in the regulations, which permit up to five. Therefore, the correct understanding of the law is that patients can receive five refills for their prescriptions of Schedule III and IV substances, provided that they are authorized by the prescribing physician and dispensed within the designated time frame.
