WHEN DOING A RE-WRITE FOR A 90DS WITH 3 REFILLS, ONCE DAILY RX WHERE WE ONLY DISPENSED A 30DS, HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE REFILLS REMAINING. 

THE REFILLS REMAINING WOULD BE THE QUANTITY REMAINING MINUS THE DISPENSE AMOUNT, THEN THAT NUMBER DIVIDED BY THE DISPNSE AMOUNT (WRITTEN FOR 90DS, 1 DAILY WITH 3 REFILLS, DISPENSED 30; QUANTITY REMAINING IS 330, SO TO FIGURE OUT REFILLS YOU WOULD DO 330-30=300, THEN 300/30=10 THEREFORE YOU ENTER 30 WITH 10 REFILLS.
