20-64-314. Depressant and stimulant drugs -- Limitations on filling of prescriptions.

No prescription for any depressant or stimulant drug may be filled or refilled more than six (6) months after the date on which the prescription was issued, and no prescription which is authorized to be refilled may be refilled more than five (5) times. However, nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as preventing a practitioner from issuing a new prescription for the same drug either in writing or orally. An oral prescription for the drug shall be promptly reduced to writing on a new prescription blank and filed by the pharmacist filling it. If no indication of refill status is indicated on the prescription, it shall not be refilled.
