What are the two time windows regarding C-II partial fills and the rest of the prescription?

• A. Initial partial fill within 14 days; remainder within 30 days of the issued date.
• B. Initial partial fill within 7 days; remainder within 14 days.
• C. Initial partial fill within 30 days; remainder within 60 days.
• D. No time limits.

Answer: (A)

Partial fills for Schedule II drugs are allowed, but they must be completed within specific timeframes to balance patient access with control. In this framework, you can dispense an initial partial amount within 14 days of the date on the prescription, and you must dispense the remaining quantity within 30 days of that same date. That means at least part should be provided by day 14, and the entire prescribed quantity should be fulfilled by day 30. If the rest isn’t dispensed by day 30, a new prescription would be required to proceed. The dates referenced are the prescription’s issue date, ensuring the process stays time-limited and traceable.
