In reply to REFILL CODE HELP PLEASE, posted by Fallen4myT on January 29, 2004, at 23:41:40
Hi Fallen -- me again!! ;o)
Docs use that code on prescriptions for refills and for the directions themselves. And you're right, the 'T-looking thing' with the two lines and the two dots means TWO. Three lines & dots means THREE, and so on.
Don't you HATE IT when docs 'forget' what they gave you, and then act like you're just trying to pull something!!! :o( Did the 'code' for two refills get typed correctly on the bottle the first time you filled it? If so, do you think you still have that bottle? If you can find it, I would take it down to the pharmacist & show them. Also, I'm not sure about all scripts, but I think that most get 'photocopied' these days (as opposed to a carbon copy like in the 'old days' - lol) onto some kind of microfische in the pharmacy, so they cut down on mistakes like this. Ask to see the copy of that original written script so you can verify what you know it said!!!
I have had this happen to me before too!! If you are sure of what you saw, make them prove to you it wasn't TWO refills!!
Let me know what happens, ok?!! Hope this helps!!! :o)
Take Care...............
