Section 110 Supply Limits for Schedule II and III Medications

Section 23 of said chapter 94C, as appearing in the 2022 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out subsection (d) and inserting in place thereof the following subsection:-

(d) Unless otherwise prohibited by statute, prescriptions for the following controlled substances in Schedule II or III may be filled for a maximum of a 90-day supply of such substance upon a single filling for: (i) the treatment of opioid use disorder, including, but not limited to, buprenorphine; (ii) non-opioid controlled substances, including, but not limited to, methylphenidate and testosterone; and (iii) implantable infusion pumps. All other prescriptions for controlled substances in Schedule II or III may be filled for a maximum of a 30-day supply of such substance upon a single filling. Notwithstanding this subsection, the department may provide by regulation that a prescription for a substance in Schedule II or III may be filled for a maximum of less than a 90-day supply upon a single filling if the secretary of health and human services or the board of pharmacy determines that such restriction is needed to address increased abuse of the substance.
