What is the maximum amount of a CII that can be written on a single prescription?

The correct answer indicates that there is no limit on the number of Controlled Immediate Release Opioids (CII) that can be written on a single prescription. Under Arkansas law and federal regulations, practitioners can issue a single prescription for multiple days' supply of a CII, which can encompass larger quantities based on medical necessity and patient considerations.

Provisions exist for practitioners to prescribe in a manner that addresses ongoing pain management, allowing for flexibility in treatment. This often means that prescribers can write for the amount they deem appropriate for a patient's situation, as long as they adhere to prescribing guidelines and ensure the patient's safety.

The other options suggest arbitrary limits that do not align with the law's intent to allow prescribers appropriate discretion in managing their patients' needs. The law provides a framework that can adapt to various patient requirements without constraining practitioners unnecessarily, reflecting a recognition of the complexities involved in pain management and prescription practices.
