Okay, I'm studying for my boards and I had a question on refills.
Legally (not best practice or insurance, but just legally) in the state of Maryland, if a patient had 5 refills on a 30 day supply of Lipitor, could he get all of them at once if he paid cash? What if it was Alprazolam?
I feel like if it's a non CDS drug then their's no law preventing it, and the only thing making it illegal if it's a C3-5 would be the fact that there is a high potential for abuse so it wouldn't be legal to do so in that situation.
