Restrictions: None
Rx available
         Last month I needed a new prescription. The doctor's office prefers a fax or email from the pharmacy. The druggist insisted they had done that, but would do it again, when the prescription wasn't there after 24 hours. On my 3rd trip, it still wasn't there and I was told to call the doctor. I had to leave a voice mail for the nurse, but I got my medicine that night.

         Each time the pharmacist advanced me 2 or 3 days worth since I ran out in the course of things and have to take it regularly. I've been taking it for over 15 years. Today I called in another prescription and to save a trip I ordered a refill of the last one. I got there and was told I can't get it until 2 days from now. It's too early per the insurance company. So I will have to make a special trip and waste gas to pick up the medicine later in the week. Two days!

         Yet with some insurance companies, you can get 90 days if you use their mail order company. There's nothing illegal about getting a month supply two days in advance, but neither druggist nor insurance company will do it. Tell me the business hasn't gone crazy!
