Sch  III drugs like norco

Sch  III drugs like norco can have up to six refills as far as I know.

Check with a licensed MD before you take any suggestions!

Generally...

Generally speaking, solo is right.  But technically speaking, it depends on how many days supply your prescription is for.  A schedule III expires after 6 months, so if you are receiving a 30-day supply per fill, then generally you will only get the original fill plus 5 refills.  Some doctors write for 11 refills, but the pharmacy will only honor however many of them you have filled in that 6 month period (which is usually only 6 total fills).
