What is the maximum days supply a pharmacist can dispense under the multiple simultaneous refills law?

A pharmacist can dispense a maximum of a 90-day supply under the multiple simultaneous refills law. This law is designed to facilitate patient access to medications while ensuring proper management and oversight in the dispensing process.

When a prescription qualifies for this type of refill, it allows the pharmacist to provide multiple refills at once rather than limiting the patient to one month’s supply at a time. This can enhance adherence to medication regimens and improve patient convenience. However, it is crucial that the total days’ supply does not exceed the permitted limit, which in this case is 90 days, to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure patient safety.

This limit reflects a balance between making medications readily available and ensuring effective monitoring of therapy, as it allows for adequate refills without introducing risks associated with over-supply of medications.
