Is it legal to dispense medication past its expiry date?

  1. Yes, if the patient agrees

  2. No, it's illegal

  3. Only over-the-counter medications

  4. 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.
