If you take medication for a stable, ongoing health condition, you might be eligible to get twice the amount of medication on one prescription.

Almost 300 medicines are available for 60-day prescriptions. This may save you money and could mean less trips to the pharmacy.

To check if this is right for you, talk to your health professional. If you are eligible for a 60-day prescription, you will need an updated prescription.
