edtrujion U.S. to make More Drugs Easily Available, Cutting Role Doctors Play

The cap for repeat prescription is at 3, at least were do I live which is in Puerto Rico. So the patients that needs those concurrent medications like levodopa or Humalog goes to see the Doctor and they ask for a prescription refill without date.

The store looting happen the first ~2 weeks. The complete island goes in ONLY CASH MODE, for around ~3 months.

I hate to use cash, I like my credit card rewards, but after María, that idea 100% cashless, u got to think about it twice.
