How to Say “Medication Refill” in Spanish

resurtido de medicamentos
/resuɾtido de medikamentos/from spelling rules
The English phrase "medication refill" is translated into Spanish as resurtido de medicamentos.
This phrase refers to the authorization or process of obtaining a new supply of a prescription drug from a pharmacy.

Did you know?

  • In some healthcare systems in Latin America, the receta must be physically stamped by a doctor for every refill, making the 'refill' a bureaucratic process rather than just a pharmacy transaction.
  • While resurtido is common in Mexico, people in Spain typically use renovación de receta to describe the process of getting a new supply.
  • The word resurtido comes from the verb resurtir, which is used not only for medicine but also for restocking shelves in a retail store.

Examples in context

  • He venido a solicitar una renovación de medicación para mi tratamiento.
    I've come to request a medication renewal for my treatment.
  • Por favor, necesito la reposición de mis medicamentos para continuar mi tratamiento.
