“Can a doctor give you a six months prescription of blood pressure medication?”
The reason I am asking is I work and I cannot take 4 days in a year from work?

Yes, your doctor can give you a six month prescription for blood pressure medication but.... Let's look at it this way. If your doctor has 200 patients with hypertension and sees them 4 times a year each. If the doctor gets paid $50 a visit, that's 50x4x200 or 40K a year for seeing those patients. If he sees each two times a year, half that income is gone. You could ask your doctor about a retainer fee so they don't go out of business while taking such good care of you.
PS: I made up the $50.
