Your friend is wrong. You don't have to wait 30 days to refill a scrip for four days worth of meds (at 2 pills every 6 hours). Under federal law you don't have to wait any days at all. It'd be legal under federal law to give you all #60 at once if that's what you wanted and you were paying cash and the pharmacist thought it was reasonable ... like if you were going out of town. Prescription plans usually require you to wait until 5 days before the pills are to run out before getting a refill. For a 30-day scrip, that'd mean you could use your insurance to pay for a refill at 25 days. But you didn't get a 30-day scrip. You got a 4-day scrip. So just call the pharmacy and ask when you can get your refill. It won't make the front page.
