3 days without medication, then wait possibly 2 days more?

I’d call the doctors office & tell them I was coming in for a script, then take it to the new pharmacy. I’d also be concerned about the dependability of the new pharmacy.

I stay on top of mine so, yes, I do. Alot of time, the pharmacy will contact me to say I need a refill and should they contact the dr. Sometimes I say yes, sometimes I do it myself. I could never rely on my doctor to keep track of my meds.

Here in our city, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, if our medication refills are finished, my pharmacy will contact me, and ask us to get the doctor’s office to fax over new refills, or the pharmacy tech asks if they could fax the doctor’s office, but, I am usually on top of my refills. Some doctors want the patient to go to their office to get their medications refilled, just in case he or she has to change anything.

@A MyFibroTeam Member,
That’s great that they also contact you! My previous pharmacy (same company but diff location) did this and it was so helpful. I hope once the kinks are worked out that they will also do this at the new location. It’s deffinitly helpful when they explain the protocol.

Thank you, I did try this. Unfortunately I couldn’t even transfer my meds to the new pharmacy online like they told me to. It’s been a slow process and I was told by the pharmacy that they should be able to transfer each one as they come up for a refill; it just happens that this one they couldn’t and I wasn’t aware of what needed to be done. Should be easier now since this prescription was renewed.
