no....I meant TWICE the dose of the med!!! so if he was on 20 mg...write
for 40....then we could split the pills..

mail order or not...40 instead of 20mg...split in half give you TWICE the
dose...ie twice as much time for the script to last...all for the same co
pay...works whether filling per month at local pharmacy..or mail order...

ironically..our insurance co which uses mail order now charges TWO copays
for THREE months worth.....
