Fill After Date On Prescription

If a prescription says "may fill on 2/17", can I fill it on 2/15 if it's a controlled substance?

No, that means you can't fill it until the 17th and not earlier, according to FDA guidelines. Your pharmacy will refuse, because of the doctors note on it.

What medication is it?

Why do they restrict when you can get it filled?
