My husband has to take strong painkillers for his back problem. How do you travel more than one month and get your medicines refilled? Especially in other states? We live in Texas.

Both important items

Narcotics = 30 days at a time = No electronic refills they need hard copies

YOU ARE WRONG. Our MD can escribe to anywhere in the USA for a 30 day supply of Oxycontin. Regularly done for us from New York to Walgreen's in Ohio, Texas and Arizona.

I'm pretty surprised at this statement. Narcotics require a written Rx.

Also pay attention to the day the prescription runs out. My wifes ran out on a Friday and could not get a refill till Monday.

With strong pain killers you probably have to find a local doctor to prescribe as they are only given one prescription at a time with no refills.
As far as filling I used a nation wide pharmacy such as Wal Mart or Walgreens. It can be done.
