Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / September 2004Illegal after expiration
If you have a script for a controlled item that expires in 6 mnths can you still take any leftover medication after 6 mnths or is that illegal since the script has expired? The expiration for a controlled substance is 6 months from the date the prescription was originally written. That means it cannot be legally filled (or refilled) after that date. As far as can you legally take the rxs which were filled within the 6 month period after the filling date has expired. If you have them you can legally take them at any time. > The expiration for a controlled substance is 6 months from the date the > prescription was originally written.
