Why do you round up or down the quantity of medication?
For the medications that are  sent on original manufacturers sealed containers (available in child proof safety caps upon request) - All the quantities are rounded up or down depending on how many are originally packaged by the drug manufacturer in each container bottle. For example if you are ordering 90 tablets, and manufacturers bottle contains 100 tablets, 100 will be shipped. If you are ordering 110 tablets, still only 100 will be shipped. When the 90-day maximum supply rule is in conflict with shipping in manufacturers container rule, manufacturers sealed container rule takes precedent.
