A member asked:

My doc wrote on my ritalin (methylphenidate) prescription "can be refilled after may 29th" does that include the 29th or do i have have to wait til the 30th?

After means "after": Today is may 29, so today is not "after" the 29th. Tomorrow is "after" the 29th, which is what the doctor intended. The pharmacy may interpret it a little differently, and the insurance company might not pay if a drug is refilled too soon.
