If you have not been seen for a while for an ongoing issue that requires a chronic medicine, we may insist on an office visit before we can give long-term refills. This allows us the opportunity to ensure the medicine is working well for you and&nbsp;that any lab monitoring required for the medicine is completed. In these instances we can often provide a short-term refill until the appointment.<\/p>\n<p>If you are requesting a prescription for a new problem or a recurring problem that has not been an issue for awhile, we will likely request an office visit first. We cannot effectively, or in some cases safely, prescribe treatment over the phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":640,"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/640"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galbraithfamilymedicine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
