My Date of Birth Is Incorrect on My Prescription

My Date of Birth Is Incorrect on the Prescription

This guide explains why an incorrect birthdate prevents pharmacies from finding or dispensing your medication and what to do next. It tells you to promptly contact your prescriber or clinic and request a new prescription with the correct date of birth. It also warns that prescriptions can’t be edited after issuance and highlights checking details carefully to avoid delays.



1. If your date of birth (DOB) is incorrect on your prescription, it will need to be corrected before it can be processed.

Why This Matters

Pharmacies use your Prescription ID and date of birth to locate your prescription in the system.

If your DOB is incorrect:

  • The pharmacy may not be able to find your prescription
  • Your medication cannot be dispensed

What You Need to Do

  • Contact your prescriber or clinic as soon as possible
  • Request a new prescription with the correct date of birth

Important Notes

  • Prescriptions cannot be edited once issued
  • A new prescription must be issued to correct any incorrect details
  • Always check your details carefully before requesting or collecting your prescription
