What is the validity period for an M3P prescription?

  1. Must be filled within 3 days after being written

  2. Valid for 30 days from the date written

  3. No expiry as long as the prescription is on an M3P form

  4. Must be filled immediately upon receipt

The correct answer is: Must be filled within 3 days after being written

M3P prescriptions must be filled within 3 days after being written, as stated in option A. Option B is incorrect because the validity period is not 30 days from the date written. Option C is incorrect because there is an expiry for M3P prescriptions, even if it is on the correct form. Option D is incorrect because the prescription does not need to be filled immediately upon receipt, but must be filled within the 3 day validity period.
