    No automatic prescriptions based on gender. Only if there is a need for them. If the doctor deems painkillers necessary though, then yes. Often they will work on finding a solution that helps minimize pain instead of treating the pain. That said, most people do just fine with 10 pieces at a time. You can buy them everywhere so it’s not difficult to get some of you need them.

    Prescriptions can be “chronic” so they don’t run out or limited. You can have it renewed when it expires though. You can do this on an app (or phone call) and your doctor will evaluate and my extend the prescription.
