Hello and thank you for your question. I am not sure why the pharmacist is refusing to fill the prescription if the doctor says it is okay to fill it early. It may be that your insurance is refusing to pay for it early in which case the pharmacist could not fill it. You may need to have your doctor call the pharmacy and talk to them. You will not die from missing norco for 3 days but you will likely have some pretty severe withdrawal symptoms. Good luck to you and thanks for using HCM
