How long do prescriptions (printed or written) stay valid for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prescriptions: Non-controlled scripts (C VI) are valid for 1 year from date written. Scripts of control three through five (C III, IV, V) are valid for 6 months or 5 refills, whichever comes first, and C III are subjected to a limit of a 30 day supply per dispense. Narcotic prescriptions of control two (C II) are valid for 1 month from date written. There are exceptions for some meds.
