A method for scheduling prescription medication refills based on a 28-day cycle. This approach aims to align refills with monthly cycles, potentially simplifying medication management for individuals taking multiple prescriptions. For instance, if a prescription is filled on the 5th of a month, the subsequent refill will be due approximately 28 days later, ideally falling within a similar timeframe each month.
This synchronization provides benefits such as reducing the frequency of pharmacy visits and minimizing the risk of running out of crucial medications. Historically, medication refills were often managed independently, leading to multiple trips to the pharmacy at different times throughout the month. The adoption of a standardized refill schedule addresses these inefficiencies, contributing to improved medication adherence and overall patient well-being.
