Prescription says to take 1 tab every 6 hours...how many pills is that taking a day? I'm thinking thats 4 pills a day. The total qty is 120 for a month. 4 pills a day for 30 days is 120 pills total...right?

Yes, every 4 hours would be 6 pills a day and every 6 hours would be 4 pills a day.

However, it should be noted that you may not need to take that many of all medications. Some, such as pain medications, may be prescribed to be taken as needed and that means you can take it a maximum of that many times a day, but you don't have to take them all, if you don't need to do so.

But for others, such as antibiotics or cardiac medications, you should take that many daily, as prescribed.

Is there anything else I can help with?
