Maintenance drugs are medications used for long-term conditions, such as diabetes. The first prescription for a maintenance drug is limited to 30 days to prevent wastage by ensuring that the drug will be effective in treating the condition. Repeat prescriptions of maintenance drugs are covered for a maximum of 100 days’ supply. Exemptions are available for residents of rural or remote areas without a pharmacy nearby.
