PHARMACIES Continued<br />
Long term prescriptions are filled out for ONE to THREE month(s) at a<br />
time. You MUST KEEP your prescription and bring it back to the<br />
pharmacy for refills. The prescription is only good for 6 months.<br />
Afterwards you must return to your doctor for another prescription.<br />
Very uncommon for doctors to call in a prescription.<br />
Medications are dispensed in prepackaged boxes. The amount <strong>of</strong> pills<br />
to take per day will not be indicated on the box. Make sure to keep the<br />
prescription for directions or write it out on the box. The medication is<br />
not counted out. It is normal to have extra pills. You can return the<br />
extra medication to your pharmacy.<br />
You can ask the pharmacist to prepare pediatric medications.<br />
You can also get medication for your PETS from most pharmacies.<br />
