There is _____ refill that can be given for schedule II drugs

Schedule II controlled substances have zero refills. Under DEA rules, a prescription for a Schedule II drug cannot be refilled; each dispensing requires a new prescription. If more of the drug is needed, a fresh prescription must be written. This strict rule reflects the high potential for abuse and the need for tight controls. There are narrow exceptions that allow partial fills in specific situations (like terminal illness or long-term care), but those do not count as refills and are governed by separate time limits; the general answer is that no refills are allowed.
