I really dislike the way prescription drugs are so tightly controlled. I think any recurring prescription, should come with an emergency reserve of 3 weeks.
What if you decide to travel. Yeah you can transfer the prescription but it’s a pain.
What if you’re sick with covid for 2 weeks and don’t want to go pick up a prescription. Some will mail it to you now, but it’s a pain.
What if you’re absent minded. Perhaps it’s a memory drug.
What if it’s birth control and boom, you missed that one dose.
Some refills can be a 3-month supply. But some are highly regulated - they only fill 30 days at a time. You could ask.
in most countries many drugs that are only avaible by prescription here are over the counter in that country
Lots of people go to mexico and other countries to get their drugs.
