Prescriptions

In general, prescriptions for stable chronic medical conditions are written for 6 months at a time. Refills are designed to expire when you are due for your follow up appointment. You may call the clinic with your refill request, or request a refill through your pharmacy. Requests are processed within 24-48 hours. You will be notified when your refill is approved, but please call your pharmacy prior to leaving home to be sure they have had time to fill it.
