Is there a limit on the number of Schedule II dosage units a practitioner can prescribe for a patient?
No, the Controlled Substances Act and the DEA Rules do not limit the number of dosage units a practitioner can legitimately prescribe. However, if a practitioner issues multiple schedule II prescriptions, he/she is limited to the combined effect of allowing a patient to receive, over time, up to a 90-day supply.
