Are there specific requirements for prescription forms such as size or format?
Washington state law requires written prescriptions to have two signature lines at the bottom of every form. Under the signature line to the right side of the form “DISPENSE AS WRITTEN” must clearly be printed. Under the signature line on the left side the words “SUBSTITUTION PERMITTED” must clearly be printed. (RCW 69.41.120) At this time, there are no regulations on the size or layout of a prescription form with except to the seal and the two signature lines. See the Sample prescription form w/seal for information on what should be included on a prescription form.
