a prescription medication question
« 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?

How many were in the original prescription?  It sounds like a partial refill.

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.

I would get the refill.  I didn't go back to the doctor the first time I was diagnosed with pneumonia because I felt pretty good.  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.
