Prescription Refill

A prescription refill refers to the process of renewing a prescription medication that has previously been prescribed by a healthcare provider. Prescription refills are typically requested when a patient needs to continue taking a medication beyond the original prescribed duration or if they need to restart taking the medication after a temporary interruption.

To request a prescription refill, a patient may contact their healthcare provider's office or pharmacy directly. Depending on the medication and the prescribing healthcare provider's policies, a prescription refill may be granted immediately or may require a new prescription to be issued by the healthcare provider.
