I have had a bout of kidney stones. I have been in pain medicines for a few weeks, my doctor is prescribing a week at a time, so I have to call and ask to refill every week.
My prescription runs out tomorrow, I will be going out of town for 2 days for family emergency.
Can I call my doctor Office and ask for a refill today?
And what issues would I run into with that, and the pharmacy?
I really do not want to leave and not have pain medication. Getting it 1 day early at day 6, and not on day 7 (1week), can't be bad right?
I just need some insight and advice on how to go about this. I do not want to seem like a drug seeker, or that I'm refilling early.
I have no issue divulging my family emergency and that I will be leaving to my PCP.
I was under the impression that for narcotics there is a 2 day window, or is that in some places?
People have 30 day RX. But pick up day 28 with no hassle?
I'm unsure due to the short repeat period, hopefully member Chuck1957 will have something more solid. The prescriptions these days often have a 'not to be dispensed before date' and has caused other people issues.
Thanks, I actually was able to get it sorted out.
Dr had no problem filling a day early, and pharm has no issues releasing said RX.
Thanks for the insight though!
It's appreciated.
