It's 'prescription', and if you look on the bottle, it will have a little thing showing how many refills the prescription has on it.

If it is zero, then you need to call the doctor that prescribed it, and get them to call in a refill to whatever pharmacy you use. They may require you to come back in for a follow up appointment (since most doctors won't write prescriptions without an appointment in the first place). Depending on what kind of medication it is, they may be hesitant to continue giving it to you if they think you might be abusing or selling it.

I generally avoid on-line pharmacies, since you have no idea what you are getting into, but in the case of an invalid or something, they should do some research, find a reputable place, and use it.

Once the doctor calls in the refill order (or if you have refills left, then just call the pharmacy yourself, or drop it off), then go and pick it up when it is ready.

Simple.

If your doctor allowed for refills on your initial prescription, it should just be a matter of calling your pharmacy and asking them to refill the prescription as long as you have the container from the original prescription. The container should have an RX number on it. Give that number to the pharmacy and they should be able to refill it with no problem.

However, if you don't know the prescription number or your doctor didn't allow for refills, you need to contact your doctor's office. He may or may not require an office visit. If it is an ongoing problem, he'll probably just have the prescription called in to your pharmacy.

Hope that helps.
