Yes, they will approve it. Once your pharmacist entered in the directions, it calculates a 25 day supply. 1-2 every 6 hours is 6 per day or 25 days worth. Re-fills, or new scripts go by the previous scripts "days supply."
However, if the Doc changes the directions in any way, then it "voids" the prior days supply altogether, so it's a non issue. I'd be very surprised if you have a problem. At the very least, the pharmacist could call the Doc to ok it, but that shouldn't be necessary.
