Pharmacy saying to early for refill

[AllahSnackbar]

I have just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. I have started taking 5mg hydrocodone on the 13th. I was rXed 40 pills take 1 every 4 hours as needed. 1 refill. Today is the 19th and I have 4 pills left. Which is enough for about half the day. The pharmacy is telling me it's to early for a refill without any explanation. I do not understand what the problem is or how they can't manage primitive math Please help.

Ask the pharmacy on how many day supply did they bill. It should be 6 or 7 day supply for 40 tabs.

A lot of times certain technicians do not put in the correct day supply. If you have a problem usually the pharmacist would be more than happy to help and clarify.
