Best Answer

A C-III narcotic prescription can be filled within 6 months and a C-II has to be refilled every month. C-II narcotics are like Percocet and oxycodone. C-III's can be called in by your doctor, but you have to go to the doctor's office every month to get a paper copy of a C=II. As far as strength goes, C-II's are stronger and more addictive.
