Hydrocodone Law Refill Laws In Fl.

My husband went to the doctor on the 26th of nov. and got his refill for hydrocodone. being that Oct. has 31 days in that month, what date by law is the first earliest day he can refill them. This is falling on Thanksgiving and he can not be driving or riding in a car without his meds.

It depends on what date in Oct he had the last rx filled. It also depends on what pharmacy you use and your insurance company. Usually, if he has not tried to get another rx filled early in recent months, he should be able to get it filled within one of two days of him running out. Some of the chain pharmacies have policies on the max number of tablets he can have left and get a refill.

The information provided by BL is correct, most pharmacies and insurance companies will allow a refill within a day, or two of it being due, if it is over a holiday when places are closed, but it can vary, they are not obligated to do so, since Hydrocodone is a controlled substance that has high abuse potential.

The best thing to do would be to check with them in advance, some pharmacies will want authorization from his doctor to fill it a little early.

How did it go?
