So they could, in theory, do the same thing here, but typically if you're out of refills, that's because the doctor wants to see you again at that time, make sure the medicine is still working for you, that they don't need to change dosage or anything, etc...<br /><br />But as long as you still have refills, you don't even have to go to the office and get the Rx from receptionLauren Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068293847226374277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135208570724950661.post-37606352263988293302013-12-06T13:52:02.407-08:002013-12-06T13:52:02.407-08:00Just catching up on back issues :-)
What you'...Just catching up on back issues :-)<br /><br />What you're talking about with the Rx sounds like the refills we have in the US. With non-controlled substances the doctor can just write you an Rx with some number of refills. The best example I can think of is with birth control pills where the doctor has to see you for you to get the pills in the first place, but they write a prescription that includes like 5 additional refills. You don't have to go back to see the doctor the next month to get another Rx, you just call the pharmacy and they look at the record of the prescription on their computer and say "yeah, okay, you still have 5 refills to use by xx-xx-xxxx date"<br /><br />This applies to lots of meds that you'll have to take on a regular basis, not including the serious pain meds. A prescription pad usually includes a couple numbers at the bottom, where the doctor just circles the number of refills you can get.Lauren Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068293847226374277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-135208570724950661.post-87080099686233310322013-11-05T07:50:44.443-08:002013-11-05T07:50:44.443-08:00Great post as usual!!!
