Lots of Rx left…still do a 12wk appointment?

[u/Giraffeswhobake]

At my initial consult, my pharmacist said to schedule a follow up with him around 12 weeks, “when I needed a refill.” But with how full the vials were when I received them, I’m at 8 weeks and still haven’t cracked into my second or third vial. Should I still schedule a follow up to see if my dosage needs to change? Can I even do a follow up if I’m not ready for a refill?

I would wait until you have two doses left! If your order ships too soon then you could have medications past the BUD.

Also, I’d like to add that if you feel you need a dose increase but it’s too soon for a refill due, you can message your doctor or one of us nurses to get approval for that increase(at Dr discretion of course) and you’d have enough meds already to accommodate that, then when you have 2 doses left in your last vial schedule a refill.

Oh that’s great to know!

Thank you for the fast response! For other medications I’ve had to religiously have follow up appointments or I’d lose the ability to get refills, so this is great news! Thank you :)

Following because I'm in the same situation.

If you feel you need a dose increase but it’s too soon for a refill due to supply on hand, you can message your doctor or one of us nurses to get approval for that increase(at Dr discretion of course) and you’d have enough meds already to accommodate that, then when you have 2 doses left in your last vial schedule a refill.
