What is allowed for dispensing an emergency refill of legend drugs with no refills left?

Cannot dispense without prescriber approval
May dispense a 72-hour emergency supply
May refill for up to 30 days
Emergency refills are not permitted

The correct answer is: May dispense a 72-hour emergency supply

Emergency refills are not typically allowed for legend drugs, unless the prescriber approves it. However, under certain emergency circumstances, a pharmacist may dispense a limited emergency supply of the drug for up to 72 hours. This is not a full refill and is only intended to provide temporary access to the medication until the patient can obtain a new prescription from their prescriber. Refilling for 30 days is not allowed without the prescriber's approval. In general, emergency refills without prescriber approval are not permitted. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
