Actually it's 28.2422 days....but who's countingThe shortest month this year had 29 days.
Every six months I go to my doctor to get a prescription renewed and she writes me a prescription for six months worth of tablets. When I go to the pharmacist to have the prescription made up I am only given 28 days worth of tablets, which does not equal to a months supply. The shortest month this year had 29 days.
After 12 visits to the pharmacy I will only have enough tablets to see me through 11 months of the year. Ultimately this means I will have to buy 13 'monthly' prescriptions each year.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Mel - Are you sure you can pick up 6 months supply at once?
How awfully sad, It is a fact that some people are struggling to pay the monthly charge on perscribed medications and the limit for the drug payment scheme is going up all the time.

There is a very logical reason for giving 28 tablets.
If a patient gets a prescription for 30 tablets on a thursday, they will run out on a Sunday, and have a problem getting a new supply.
its to do with profits,90 euro every month to the pharmacist rather than 90 euro every six months.
