Important Considerations
While we strive to make the prescription refill process as smooth as possible, it is essential to keep the following considerations in mind:
1. Refill Requests in Advance
We recommend submitting refill requests at least [recommended time frame] before running out of medication. This timeframe allows for thorough verification, approval, and processing, ensuring you have your medication when you need it without any interruptions.
2. Controlled Substances Refills
Prescription refills for controlled substances require additional scrutiny due to legal and safety considerations. Our team follows all applicable laws and regulations regarding controlled substances. These refills may involve additional steps, such as physical pick-up from our clinic and the need for a valid photo ID.
3. Prescription Refills during Clinic Hours
Please note that prescription refill requests are processed during our clinic hours.
