My GP never allows any refills. You have to see him every time you want to refill anything.

As about antibiotics. They need to do x ray and that would show if you have bronchitis or not. I refuse to see GPS who make you wait weeks for appts and urgent care isn’t a good place to get continuous care. I keep seeing my crazy GP (the one who won’t do refills) because he will see you when you are sick. You don’t need urgent care unless it’s after hours. I might wait in a waiting room half a day but either he or a nurse practitioner will see you
