Pharmacy issue: testosterone prescription

[Southern09]

I’m wondering if this is a common problem or not. I have a prescription with a large chain pharmacy. The prescription is for 10mL vials and 3 of them. Initially the pharmacy gave me 1mL vials and I had to come back each month- because of insurance they said. I decided to pay out of pocket which is actually cheaper than with insurance so I could get a 10mL vial.



I would like to refill my next vial early with the corona virus outbreak and rumors of potential supply issues. The pharmacy will not refill it until 2 days before they have determined by usage that I will be due my next vial. They do not account for hubloss either- so if I give the exact dose prescribed I end up short on my last dose because of this and they wont let me refill my next vial early. Is this just an issue with this pharmacy or are they all like this?

Yeah bc it's a controlled substance they probably cannot legally refill the prescription before the due date. They do this to try and limit abuse on controlled substances where prescriber issues refills. State laws vary but I think most states carry this policy with controlled substances.

They are all like that. I also noticed the same problem with the local pharmacies, which I dislike. This is evidence of unprofessionalism. I have often faced problems with local pharmacies, so now I do not buy any products from these pharmacies. I like buying medicines from a Russian Pharmacy because their service is more professional and trustworthy. And by the way, I also had problems with testosterone, and the supplements I found in this Pharmacy helped me a lot. I recommend them to you too.
