Told Doc office that I knocked a new 90 day supply bottle accidently into the toilet in the morning. Filled new prescription and began rotating as I go.

My wife has been skipping her medicine one day a week to build up a stockpile in case of an emergency or a shortage. When she gets new medicine she replaces the pills she saved with the newer ones so she will always have the best shelf life possible.

You can also generally get a monthly prescription refilled after about 25 days.

You’ll gradually accumulate two month’s surplus after about ten months.

The complication will be that you will then have used-up your “12 refills”, and you’ll have to get a new prescription from your doctor; hopefully they’re not too picky about refills.

Maybe do a half dose once in a while or regularly, if you can.

I am on a new anti-histamine and now that allergy season is over, I find I don't need as much as usual so do a half dose and keep ordering as if I'm doing a full dose.

I DO know that's not feasible for some conditions.
