Brief Answer:
No, he may not have any issues.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my view.

As you say that your doctor is aware of the fact that you are overseas, so according to me he should not have any issues with that.

As far renewing your prescription, he may do your complete medical examination and do the needful.

Till then avoid stress, keep your self well hydrated, eat healthy diet.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale.
