prescription refill

Another medication batch

A prescription refill is a subsequent dispensing of medication after the original prescription has been filled.

Doctors often authorize a set number of refills when writing prescriptions, allowing patients to obtain more medication without a new appointment: I need to pick up my prescription refill at the pharmacy.

For controlled substances, refills are restricted or prohibited.
