How long are legend drug prescriptions valid from the date issued in Washington?

6 months
1 year
2 years
Until the medication expires

The correct answer is: 1 year

In Washington, legend drug prescriptions are valid for 1 year from the date of issue. This means that the medication must be picked up within 1 year and any refills must also be used within that timeframe. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the state's specific regulations regarding prescription validity. Option A of 6 months is too short, while option C of 2 years is too long. Option D is incorrect because while the expiration date of the medication may be a factor, it does not determine the validity of the prescription itself. Additionally, it is important to adhere to state-specific regulations, rather than assuming a general rule for prescription validity. Therefore, option B is the correct and most accurate answer.
