When it comes to effective health management, having a pharmacy you can rely on is imperative to getting the best results from your prescriptions. Whether it’s due to location or pricing differences with healthcare products in California, you may find yourself needing to transfer your prescription to our pharmacy. Here, we discuss what you need to know before moving your prescriptions:
- Check if your medicine is offered.
If you plan on filling your prescription at a new pharmacy, be sure they have your prescriptions on offer. Talk to the pharmacist to ensure that they will accept the transfer. Certain medications, such as Adderall and Vicodin, do not allow you to transfer to a different pharmacy. If you take any supplements, check if they offer those as well to promote convenience.
- Let your healthcare provider know.
When you have decided to transfer pharmacies, be sure to keep your healthcare provider in the loop. This eliminates confusion for future refills and will make it easier for them to update your current prescriptions and recommend items like medical supplies should the need arise.
- Prepare your prescription information.
Prepare a list of your prescription information, such as the prescription drug name, strength, and RX number. Other important details you should know include your personal health history, family history, and list of current prescriptions. The pharmacist may also require your insurance information to process the transfer.
