Non-controlled drug prescriptions must stop dispensing after how long from the issue date?

Non-controlled drug prescriptions have a one-year validity from the date of issue. After that window, a pharmacist cannot dispense the medication from that prescription and would need a new prescription from the prescriber if therapy continues. This rule keeps ongoing treatment current and safe, ensuring dosing, indications, and safety checks are up to date. Control-substance rules are separate, but for non-controlled drugs the one-year limit from the issue date is the standard.
