Expert: Eric Brandt Date: 4/15/2008 Subject: Question about refills?
Question I see a Dr for chronic pain and have to go every month to get refills of my pain meds, my Dr is 270 miles away is there any way for him to write two prescriptions for two months so I do not have to make the trip every month? Thanks.
Answer Hi Robert,
Ehat is the reason you see a doctor so far away from your place of residence?
Seeing the doctor as frequently as you do now allows the doctor to more closely assess the need to keep refilling the prscription. Depending on the apin med the doctor can specify on the prescription how many times it may be refilled without a newly written prescription.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
