How much do these kinds of prescriptions actually last?? Like, six months?

On this one of mine, they never bothered to write down a date or stamp it—so there isn't even a clear indication of when the doctor actually wrote it up.

Does that mean I can just walk into a pharmacy with this and pick up my meds? Will they actually give them to me? Or am I going to have to go through the hassle of getting a new private prescription...

I was just wondering because now that everything has moved to e-prescriptions, I honestly have no clue if anyone even uses paper ones anymore.

Hey there,

I was wondering about something and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. 🙂

Do pharmacies still accept those old-school paper prescriptions for private medications now that everything has shifted over to the electronic system?

Here's the deal—I've actually been holding onto a standard paper prescription from last year that I've used before, and I'm just wondering if I need to go back to my doctor to get a fresh one, or if I can still just head down to the pharmacy and use this one as is.

Thanks!
