What is the maximum number of refills permitted by law to be transferred between pharmacies for a controlled substance listed in Schedules III, IV, or V?

One time basis only
Three times
Five times
Unlimited

The correct answer is: One time basis only

The law allows for only one-time refills to be transferred between pharmacies for controlled substances listed in Schedules III, IV, or V. This means that a patient can only transfer their prescription from one pharmacy to another one time before having to go back to their original prescriber for a new prescription. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the maximum number of refills allowed by law. Option B (three times) and C (five times) both allow for multiple transfers, which is prohibited. Option D (unlimited) is also incorrect because there is a strict limit of one-time transfers for these types of controlled substances. It is important for pharmacists to follow these guidelines and not exceed the one-time transfer limit to ensure the proper handling and distribution of controlled substances.
