Where should non-controlled prescription records be kept and for how long?

Non-controlled prescription records must be kept for three years in total. You keep them at the pharmacy for the first year, and you may store the remaining two years off-site, as long as the records are readily retrievable when needed. This satisfies the three-year retention requirement while allowing off-site storage after the initial on-site period. Keeping all three years on-site isn’t required, and starting with off-site storage or reversing the split wouldn’t meet the standard pattern.
