Yes, as long as it is not a controlled medicaiton; most prescriptions are valid for one year. If you were prescribed a controlled drug (i.e. many pain medications such as Vicodin are controlled), you cannot fill it after 6 months.

Yes, your prescription is still valid. When you go to the pharmacy just give them your new prescription/insurance card. Hope this helps:) Evan

How often do I need to get a new prescription for my eyeglasses?
If you go to the optometrist to get new glasses they will not accept a prescription that is more than 9 months or a year old. In that time your eyesight has probably changed. However if your glasses still do their job properly you don't really need a new exam.
I am on probation and i have a perscrition for xanax i fill about 10 months ago. can i still legally take it?
You should still be able to take it, as long as it is YOUR prescription and not someone elses. Just to be sure, check with your probation officer. Legally you should still be able to take it, even it was 10 months ago, but again just to be sure, PLEASE check with your probation officer, but I don't think there will be a problem.

Can a pharmaceutic technologist change a doctor prescription?
No. It's illegal for them to do so without first contacting the prescribing physician and getting permission to do it. The doctor can give verbal permission by phone, or by email, or fax, but then they still have to follow up with a written, signed prescription from the doctor.

I have aPrescription that is 3 months old but is just for a ventolin evohaler as i suffer from asthma will i still be able to get this?
You will have to check with your local pharmacy. Most likely, yes, as this is not a prescription for a drug that would be a one-time use like antibiotics. However, it won't hurt to call your health care provider and ask them to call in an updated prescription to your pharmacy.
