Can I refill my vicodin prescription at 28 days instead of 30 days?

If there is a problem.. Tell the Pharmacy to call your Doctor. To save you time just call ahead.

I get refills all the time at 28 days. If the pharmacy is giving you a hard time , thats just someone trtying to be an ass. You can get narcotics refills 2 days before you run out. Mine are even much stronger and I dont have any issues. I did once with a new pharmacist and didnt let her get away with having a hair across her ass. I hope you get this worked out. Snakey

NO, pharmacies are regulated by the federal government in such a way that if you try to refill any controlled substance before 30 days, it will be rejected by the pharmacy pc and you will have to wait the other two days.

i know that here you can refill after you have waited untill 80 percent of the days have passed. i e . on the 24th day you can refill it here if you have a valid perscription from your doctor

I am not to sure where you live. But here if you tell them to cantact the doctor who issued you the prescription they will call and as long as he verifys that it is okay with him I don't see what the problem would be. Either that or ask your doctor if he can up the dosage or call them. That way you have enough and don't have to go through it everytime you need them in advanced. Hope this helped..

Hi. I agree with all of these answers. I get mine between 28 & 29 days, no problem. I would maybe have your doctor speak with the pharmacist and straighten this out. God bless & good luck!!

In CA I can renew mine almost every 15 days, or twice a month. In my case, I always put the refill a few days early as they have to contact the doctor for approval. The pharmacy never looks at me strange and I've been going for a few years now. I have Kaiser so I dont know if they are more relaxed on their refills compared to CVS or Walgreens.

I would change pharmacys if they give you trouble. If they wanted to scrutinize people and ailments, they should have been a doctor. It is their job to administer medication and not make one feel like a criminal.
