What does PFL stand for and mean?

• A. Partial Fill: not enough medication to completely fill
• B. Partial Fill: fully complete support
• C. Prescription Final Line
• D. Pharmacy Freight Level

Answer: (A)

PFL means Partial Fill. The idea is that only part of the prescribed quantity is dispensed now, with the rest to be dispensed later according to policy and availability. This helps manage shortages or regulatory requirements while still providing the patient access to medication. The choice that describes a Partial Fill as “not enough medication to completely fill” matches this meaning. The other options use terms that aren’t recognized in pharmacy practice (they don’t describe partial dispensing).
