Question about Pharmacy

[Michael009]

At Target, I am signed up for the Automatic Refill Program for Tramadol, something I take for my back. I've been told that my prescription is to get refilled six days before I run out. A few months ago, my doctor gave me one prescription with 2 refills. The pharmacy filled my bottle six days ahead of time (the first time) -- then after that, filled the last two in 30 day increments, so it is always filled six days before I run out.

On September 10th, the pharmacy called my doctor and got a new prescription approved -- this time with no refills.

Does the previous prescription affect this new one, meaning will the pharmacy always be counting off the original? Or does a new prescription mean a new timeline, being set up for six days early?

Thanks!!

Sorry if this is confusing as hell.

Have you called the pharmacy directly and spoken to the pharmacist on staff?  They may be able to help you with information like that.

Yes but I get a different answer each time. Mostly from assistants who have no idea what they're doing. Does anyone know about this?

when you get a new script then the pharmacy goes from that new one, the old one no longer exisits. so to answer your question, the pharmacy will go with the new date from the new script...hope that helps
