PRN refills are ONLY acceptable for which type of substances, and they should not be refilled past how long from the date of issue?

PRN refills apply only to non-controlled substances. That means a prescription labeled as PRN can be refilled as needed, but the prescription remains valid for up to one year from the date it was issued. Controlled substances are held to stricter rules (CII cannot be refilled; CIII–CV have limited refills and rules differ), so PRN refills aren’t the general path for them. So the best match is non-controlled substances with a one-year validity from the date of issue.
