As long as you can. I am limited as to when I can refill based on the last date I refilled a prescription. I can't do it early, or my insurance won't cover it.It turns out that the US pharmacy manufacturers rely on ingredients from China and they anticipate a severe supply chain problem soon.

Yes, and if that were the case I'd have no problem asking for an advance.You can often get an advance fill authorized by telling them you're going on a long trip and will be overseas at the normal refill time.

U.S. Dependence on Pharmaceutical Products From China

I always request a refill a few days before it is due so that I can slowly stockpile. We have 6 months supply of most of our medications now.![]()
It is under insurance but I have to pay whatever is the co-pay. I have been stockpiling prescriptions for as long as I remember. When I get to 6 months supply, I would just delay one refill for a couple of weeks.Are you paying out of pocket or is insurance paying for your scripts?

I didn't have an issue with Kaiser, BCBS and now United Health. Every round of prescriptions I just get it 3 to 5 days earlier and before long I have 6 months stock. Kaiser allowed prescriptions to be filled one month before the 3 months supply run out. BCBS and United Health allow up to about 5 days before for 30-day refill.My husband’s insurance in the past did not allow for that except a one time travel supply ( one months). I am surprised people are able to stockpile drugs. Today the pharmacies and docs are paranoid about people abusing drugs, etc. and make getting prescriptions very hard.
