Prescription Refills: What Patients Should Know Before Requesting One

A refill request is simple in many cases, but the pharmacy still has to confirm that the prescription is eligible to be refilled.

Check whether refills remain

A prescription may include authorized refills, or it may require a new prescription from the prescriber before the pharmacy can dispense more medication.

Request before you run out

Submitting a refill request before the medication is gone gives the pharmacy time to review the prescription and address any issue that may require prescriber involvement.

Keep your pharmacy information accurate

Make sure the pharmacy has your current phone number and other contact information so the team can reach you if a question comes up.

Prescription-specific questions
