The Dr. will specify a number of 'refills' allowed, but I don't think we have 'repeat' or like, 'standing' prescriptions. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 30, 13:59 8
- we have it that way too, but if you have a recurring condition, they usually give you enough that you don't have to come in too often. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 14:01 7
  - but would they do that for antibiotics? I'm not so sure -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 14:01 6
    - I can't remember what I was on them for but I got a rake of antibiotics before for something and the doc writes "repeat x3" at the end of it. - Loyola Aug 30, 14:06 4
      - I've never seen refills on an antibiotic prescription that I've gotten. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 30, 14:08 3
        
        yeah, it can be a bad thing to get refills on those. Where is pharmacist Tim when we need him? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 14:16
        
        I've seen it for antifungals. -- nm - I can't think of a joke nick si Aug 30, 14:09 1
        
        There's a fungus among us! -- nm - Elaine's Medicine Cabinet Aug 30, 14:10
    - (My wife's had the same level of annoyance for recurring things in the past, as well) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 14:03
they might, but this sounds like a "let's try to avoid liability and cover our asses" type thing -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 13:58
