Why Do I Have No More Refills?
It's not always easy to stay on top of how many refills you have left for your medication. Sometimes, you may have an old bottle from a month ago that says you have one refill left, but in actuality you don't have any refills. To prevent this from happening in the future, one of the best things to do is to call the pharmacy so that the pharmacy staff can check how many refills you have remaining. In addition, a lot of pharmacies now have websites where you can sign up and monitor your pharmacy profile online as well. This is something to strongly consider, especially if you want to save some time with phone calls.
Other times, states have specific laws and regulations as to when a prescription expires as well as how many refills you can have on controlled substances from one prescription. It is important to ask your pharmacy early on about the expiration and refills on your prescriptions to stay on top of your medications. That way, you know when you would have to see your physician to get new prescriptions instead of finding out at the pharmacy that you need to see your physician. You can call your pharmacy ahead of time to see if you need a new prescription as well.
