I get the impression pretty dumb for asking this...?
but if you have a prescription that you've filled out at one pharmacy, can you go to any other pharmacy latter to refill it as long as you have the bottle with adjectives your info on it? I ask just cause I found a much closer pharmacy to home since originally giving another pharmacy my doctor's prescription. I've never done this before! lol. The just other prescriptions I've had were for my wisdom teeth, so I be too doped up on anesthetics to fill them out myself!
Answers:
I'm pretty sure you can. My mom once had a migraine when we were on break and she didn't have her medicine with her, so she go to the local pharmacy there and they just called her doctor and consent to her have the medicine. So I'm pretty sure they'll let you if you budge to another pharmacy.
(Don't feel dumb, it's not a dumb question!)
Hope I helped!
Not knowing where you are I'm going to hazard a guess and say - No!
In most areas it is iffy to fill a prescription without having the doctor's authorization (paper or verbal/online), especially for refill. Think about it you could find anyone's bottle and the contents could kill you! If you find a pharmacist that will fill it I would really request for information how safe you are dealing with them.
If you found one closer to home I suggest you go to the pharmacy be you have the open prescription and see if it's possible for them to do a transfer or failing that, see if your doctor will authorize the untried pharmacy to do the refills.
As long as it has refills remaining, you can receive your prescription filled anywhere. Just take your bottle with adjectives your information to the pharmacy of your choice and they will contact your old pharmacy and get what is called a "transfer" -- roughly the pharmacist at your old pharmacy will tell the new pharmacist adjectives the information needed to fill your prescription. Once you transfer a script, it remains at the new pharmacy until you any transfer it again, or you run out of refills. It's not a problem at all -- don't have a feeling like you are bothering anyone. Pharmacies transfer prescriptions every single day. Source(s): I work within pharmacy.
