How long must a prescription be unclaimed for it to be eligible for RTS?

A prescription must be unclaimed for at least 14 days to be eligible for return to stock (RTS). This policy is in place to ensure that medications are not held in a pharmacy for excessively long periods, which can compromise their stability and safety. By mandating a 14-day waiting period, the pharmacy can effectively manage inventory levels and minimize the risk of having expired or outdated medications on hand.

This timeframe also aligns with regulations aiming to promote appropriate medication management practices in pharmacy settings, ensuring that prescriptions are processed efficiently and patients have timely access to their medications when needed. The specific duration helps pharmacies create a systematic approach to inventory control, ensuring compliance with state laws and enhancing operational efficiency.
