Which schedule of drugs has no refill limit?

Refill limits depend on the drug’s schedule. The tighter the control, the fewer or no refills are allowed. Schedule II drugs cannot be refilled; you must issue a new prescription for each fill. Schedule III through Schedule V allow refills, but they are limited (typically up to five refills within six months). Schedule I drugs aren’t prescribed at all. Among these, Schedule V is taught as having no refill limit, which is why it’s the correct choice for “no refill limit.”
