I'm not sure if it's country-wide, or province-wide, or if I just have a good combo of doctor + neighbourhood pharmacy but in Canada here I generally get 6 months of refills on a prescription. They're still somewhat strict on when you're allowed to get refills, it's usually within 7 days of running out. My doctor does require an in-person visit before doing the next 6-month prescription, mostly because they want to monitor whether or not it's having any blood pressure effects, but my pharmacy is really good about pointing out that the prescription I filled has 0 refills left and that I need to book an appointment for that.
