According to the Benzodiazepine and Other Targeted Substances Regulations, what is the expiry date for refilling a prescription for lorazepam?

  1. Six months from the date written

  2. Six months from the date originally filled

  3. One year from the date written

  4. One year from the date originally filled

The correct answer is: One year from the date written

Providing context for why the other options are incorrect, option A is incorrect as it refers to the date the prescription is written, not the date it is actually filled. Option B is incorrect because it refers to the date the prescription was initially filled, not the date it is being refilled. Option D is also incorrect because it also refers to the date the prescription was initially filled, not the date it is being refilled. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer as it refers to the date the prescription is written, which is the acceptable expiration date for refilling a prescription for lorazepam according to the regulations.
