In most states, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are not authorized to call in prescription refills to the pharmacy. This task generally falls under the duties of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a healthcare provider such as a physician or nurse practitioner. LPNs often assist with medication administration but do not typically have the authority to order prescriptions.

Why won't pharmacy refill adderall with a refill on script?

Adderall is a Schedule II narcotic. This class of drugs are legal, but have the highest potential of abuse. For this reason, a doctor can not give a refill or call-in a script for these drugs, he must see the patient in person and write them a new script every time. So the reason the pharmacy won't refill the prescription is because it shouldn't have refills in the first place.
