My health insurance provides prescription benefits through Medco Health. I

can either have my prescription sent mail-order from Medco ($3.00 for 90

days worth), or I can take my prescription to a retail pharmacy and get a

discount.

If I use the mail-order feature, there's no way I can get a refill sooner

than 90 days. If I deal with a retail pharmacy, I will only get the

discount if I stay within Medco's time constraint. However, the pharmacy

will allow the refill anytime (as long as I haven't exceeded the number of

refills listed on the prescription) if I pay full price and don't use any

insurance coverage.

So you might be able to refill sooner if you pay for it yourself. You'd

have to compare the cost of that option to ordering from non-prescription

sources.
