Title: a prescription medication question
Post by: ChuckJ on April 25, 2013, 08:32:49 PM: I just noticed that one of the medications that the doc gave me has "Refills: 0.7" on it. What does the "0.7" mean?

Post by: ChuckJ on April 25, 2013, 08:52:07 PM: Yeah, I figured a partial refill also, but I've just never seen a "0.7" on number of refills before. I think the bottle has 30 pills in it.

It probably doesn't matter because I probably won't need to get it refilled anyway. I was just curious.

My symptoms came back a couple weeks later... I eventually went back to the doctor after a month or so of coughing, congestion, and chest pain. You should take care of it now.

Now you sound like my wife. :lmao:

She'll probably make me get it refilled.

You don't want this to drag on. I had pneumonia in January and didn't get this crap cleared up until April.

It was a multitude of causes but it was pretty rotten.

Believe me, I don't want this to drag on. I've only had it a week. I don't think I could handle several months of it.
