Answers:
You really just need to apply the thinnest layer to cover your face, like a pea sizd amount!.
When did you get the Rx filled!? Usually we put Benzaclin in for a 30 day supply, which means you can usually get it 5-7 days early depending on your particular insurance!.
Call the pharmacy for a refill!. If it doesn't go through they are usually able to tell you based on the insurance company's rejection message what day the insurance will pay for the Rx again!.
If you have a good balance going with your meds right now and your skin is clear, not using the Benzaclin can throw off that balance and cause some of your acne to reappear
EDIT: I read your added info!.!.!. like I said, call the pharmacy and see when you can get it again!. You probably won't have to wait the full two weeks!. If you got it two weeks ago, you might have to wait another week for the insurance to cover it!.
The other option is you can pay out of pocket for a refill and they'll give it to you now, and chalk the extra money up to a learning experience!.
Either way, call your pharmacist, explain the situation and if they're good pharmacy staff, they will help you figure something out, whether they can get an override from the insurance for an early refill, or they modify the day supply to 21 instead of 30 so it'll go through now or they tell you what he out of pocket price is!. It's worth the call!. It won't kill you to go without the meds, but it'll throw off the balance, and why do that if you don't have to!? If I were your tech, I'd help you out!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
