What happens to prescriptions if the prescriber dies or is no longer licensed in Washington?

  1. The prescription is immediately void

  2. It is still valid until it naturally expires

  3. A new prescription is needed from a current prescriber

  4. The pharmacy can renew the prescription once

The correct answer is: It is still valid until it naturally expires

When a prescriber dies or is no longer licensed in Washington, the prescription remains valid until it expires. This means that the pharmacy can continue to fill the prescription until it naturally expires. Option A is incorrect because a prescription does not automatically become void in this situation. Option C is incorrect because it does not necessarily require a new prescription from a current prescriber. Option D is incorrect because the pharmacy cannot renew a prescription on behalf of a deceased or unlicensed prescriber.
