My health insurance is terrible...

I need to get a new prescription for Cipro immediately, but I can't afford my GI doctor. Has anyone paid for one of these online or telephone doctors? I was looking into them, but t looks like they only prescribe treatments for the flu or other common ailments and wouldn't be able to offer us help. I know that a prescription for Cipro is exactly what I need. Getting the pills at the pharmacy is not a problem, but I need a doctor to write the prescription or script, as some people call it.

Any advice?
Thanks all!

Getting a prescription over the phone is a good option, if your doctor is willing to do this. I've had my surgeon call in scripts for me before. I'm sure your GI would be willing to do this, especially if your symptoms are similar to what they were before.

If that doesn't pan out, can you call the pharmacy where you got your last prescription filled? I'm not sure how it works in your jurisdiction, but in Ontario, pharmacists are permitted to renew certain prescriptions for you, without the need for you to go back to your doctor. It's worth a call in to find out.

Hi all!

Unfortunately, the pharmacist can't renew that here in the u.s. ... And my GI doctor insists that they can't renew it since they haven't seen me in over a year. They were renewing it for me every once in a while, but they finally stopped, and the cost of a GI visit is nearly impossible for me right now.
