In NY State, when does a written perscription expire?

I believe that in New York, a written prescription expires one year after it is written.  I know that any prescription written with refills always has an expiration of one year.

Of course.  When that document expires it is the ticket home.  Since it supercedes all other documents.\n\nNita

It should be on the bottle, any prescription you get from the doctor is 1 year.

ALWAYS. My family's health and my own depend on it. If I find something that's expired, I also let the people at the store know.

Your doctor's office should have one. Otherwise, you could just write on a piece of paper that you authorize your (or your child's) medical records to be released to so-and-so, then sign and date it.

You might be able to.  Here's what I would do.\n\n1.  Gather all your receipts.  If you don't have the actual receipts.. well.. your scewed and might as well stop here.  However, there is the possiblity that the old pharmacy has your perscriptions on file and they may be able to provide you with a print out of your purchases.\n2.  I really don't think the Pharmacy will be willing to reimburse you.. but the insurance company might.  Copy all the receipts, write a letter and fill out your Insurance companies claim form.\n3.  Send it all in and cross your fingers.\n\nGood luck!

It really depends.  For most drugs, the expiration date is not the actual "expiration" date, that is, the drug loses its potentcy/kills you, but the date you should discard it while you remember.  As a matter of fact, most of the expired drugs, sometimes for years, are being donated by medical corporations to third world countries and a great majority of them are still effective.  HOWEVER, this does not encourage you to take  expired medicine.  Depending on the drug you are having, it could be deadly.  So to answer your question, don't try expired medicine unless you are in Africa (Yes, I know it sounds messed up).

I dobut there is one.  The experation date listed for refills though must be calculated using the original date of writing.  ie Dr. writes it on the 3rd of April, you fill it on the 6th of Apri and it has three refills and in this case is a narcotic (limited to six months for refills, some stronger narcotics can't be "refilled", otherwise most drugs are 12months), then the last date for a refill is the 3rd of Oct, not the 6th of Oct.

depends on your state law but usually it has to be in writing within a certain amount of time

Patent life is how long before the patent expires.\n\nExcedrin is basically aspirin and caffeine, which are both very old, so the patents have expired.  If you look on the package, it will say something like "Protected under US Patent #6,555,555"  You can go an look up the patent and see when it expires at the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Call a pharmacy and ask.  In most states, you can.

The psychiatrist will probably not give you perscriptions for medications which you could OD on ....... If you are under 18 yrs old they might tell you parents. Courts can subpoena your psychiatric records. Your records are not public record, so no one would probably know, but they could find out.
