You will have to have a yearly exam in
order to have your prescription refilled.
Most doctors give you 12 month refills.
No need to take in a RX every month, your
pharmacist will keep in on file for you. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

The doctor will allow you to have refills for 6 months or so. After that 6 months, you'll have to call the doctor and ask for more refills. You shouldn't have to actually see the doctor unless you've been having problems.
After that second 6 months is up, it will be time for another gyno appointment and thus more refills.
