prescription renewal
Extending drug supply
Prescription renewal is the process of obtaining a new supply of medication when an existing prescription has run out or expired.
Patients typically request renewals through their pharmacy or doctor's office: I need to call in for a prescription renewal before I run out of pills.
Some medications require a doctor's visit before renewal; others can be renewed automatically.
