What do I need to do every month for my prescription?

Each month, you may need to complete certain steps so that a licensed healthcare provider can determine whether continuing your prescription is appropriate. Your specific requirements can vary depending on your medication, your provider’s instructions, and any applicable regulations.

1. Review your medication instructions

Your shipment may include information from your prescribing provider and the dispensing pharmacy. This may include details about your prescribed dosage and how your medication should be taken.
Info
If you have questions about how to use your medication, when to take it, or whether your dose should change, please contact your provider. They can give you guidance based on your prescription.

2. Monthly or periodic intake forms

Some medications require a follow-up intake form before refills, while others may require it less frequently. If a new intake is needed, you will receive a notification. After you complete the intake, a licensed healthcare provider will review your information and determine whether continuing the prescription is appropriate.

3. Subscription and refill timing

If you have an active subscription, billing and refill processing generally follow a 28-day cycle; however, timing may vary based on:
  1. your specific medication
  2. provider review requirements
  3. refill availability
  4. pharmacy processing schedules
Info
A provider must approve each prescription or refill before the pharmacy can prepare your next shipment.
