If a prescription for Prevacid specifies #100 with a 2 refill limit but has a 34-day supply limit, how many refills of 34 would be available?

Given that each prescription contains 100 tablets, we need to know the recommended dosing for Prevacid to establish how many tablets are taken per day. Generally, Prevacid (lansoprazole) is commonly dosed at 15 mg or 30 mg daily, depending on the condition being treated.
