How long is a prescription from my doctor valid for?

A prescription from a doctor is typically valid for 2 years if it does not have any renewals indicated. If the prescription is renewable for a certain number of times (for example, Rx2, 6, 12, or 24), it is also valid for 2 years. However, if the prescription is renewable for a specific duration (for example, Rx3 months, 6 months, or 12 months), it is only valid for that specific duration from the date it was written.
