Controlled Drugs
There is a good practice requirement that Schedule 2, 3 or 4 CDs be limited to a quantity for 30 days treatment.
However, a prescriber may issue prescriptions for a longer period where they believe it to be justified, so a dispensing contractor will be reimbursed for any quantity dispensed on an FP10.
Non-controlled Drugs
This decision would be entirely up to the prescriber who may be limited by variables such as the drug they are prescribing, the patient's condition or local restrictions.
Is there a limit for what quantity of a drug can be prescribed on a prescription?
