# Can my vet write an "ongoing" prescription?

No, since a prescription is only valid for up to 12 months, your vet cannot write an "ongoing" prescription. Furthermore, we are only allowed to supply up to the quantity that your vet authorises on the prescription. Once we have supplied what your vet authorises on the prescription, we will need a completely new prescription to provide more medication.
