Does PRN and indefinite refills mean the same thing?
For medications, PRN means "take as needed". I've never seen any prescription written as "indefinite refills", and it would not be within medical standards to write a prescription that way. However, a prescription may have continuous refills, usually up to 12 months (1 year) BUT this is only on certain classifications of prescription medications and typically the refill line has a designation (a number is placed there to indicate how many refills). But, again, a prescription is never written with "continuous refills" on the prescription paper.
