According to federal law, prescriptions for Schedule III controlled substances may:

B. not be refilled under any circumstances.
C. have p.r.n. refills.
D. be refilled for up to 12 months if indicated.
A. be refilled for up to 6 months if indicated.

The correct answer is: B. not be refilled under any circumstances.

According to federal law, prescriptions for Schedule III controlled substances may not be refilled under any circumstances. This is because Schedule III substances have a lower potential for abuse and dependence compared to other controlled substances. Therefore, patients must obtain a new prescription from their doctor for each refill in order to closely monitor their use of the medication. This is to protect the patient from potential harm and to prevent misuse or diversion of the medication. All other options listed would allow for refills, which goes against federal law for Schedule III substances.
