I went to the Dr. (at HMO) about two weeks ago my regular Dr was out that day. I saw another in the "Group" who wrote my prescription with a refill. My regular Dr. would write a slightly larger qty but never a refill.

She wrote 1 - 2 every six hrs for pain. There is #30 (qty) with one refill. If I took 5 / day there is only 6 days worth and I could refill then.

My friend says refills have to be one month from fill date. I only use them on bad days so it is not a huge issue.

What is the correct answer. I live in a smaller town and sure dont want to be known trying to fill a prescription early. It would make the front page! Yes, I cant believe that I have never had a script with a refill before.

Thanks in advance! Kim
