Just wanted to clarify this. You don't get a year's supply at once. You get 90-days worth and your doctor can put up to 3 refills on the original prescription.

Personally, I will only give 90 + 3 refills to patients who are very compliant and always keep their visits. Otherwise, patients wouldn't come back for a year. I see it all the time.
