Is it legal to dispense medication past its expiry date?
Yes, if the patient agrees
No, it's illegal
Only over-the-counter medications
Yes, in emergency situations
The correct answer is: No, it's illegal
Dispensing medication past its expiry date is illegal for all medications, including over-the-counter ones. Even if the patient agrees or it is an emergency situation, it is still not legal to dispense expired medication. This is because expired medication may not be as effective and can potentially cause harm to the patient. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
