New Vicodin Refills Laws Jersey

I had a 2 fills written in Sept. 1 was filled and the other now says non-refillable. I thought the law stated that refills written prior to 10/6/14 would still be allowed to be filled. Isn't that the law?

All prescriptions for HCPs must comply with 21 U.S.C. 829(a) and must be issued in accordance with 21 CFR part 1306 and subpart C of 21 CFR part 1311 as of October 6, 2014. No RX's for HCPs issued on or after October 6, 2014 shall authorize any refills. Any prescriptions for HCPs that are issued before October 6, 2014, and authorized for refilling, may be dispensed in accordance with 21 CFR 1306.22–1306.23, 1306.25, and 1306.27, if such dispensing occurs before April 8, 2015.

Hi Vincent:

Yes, that is the federal law. State law could always take priority, but I doubt one was passed specifically in this case.

Try transferring it to a different pharmacy..

The new law says they "may" be refilled. Each pharmacy seems to be deciding how they want to handle this on an individual basis. I agree with Darwinski that chances are no state laws have been passed that are more stringent. But, if you're told it is state law, look it up to be sure what you have been told is accurate.
