PRESCRIPTIONS & REFILLS Medication refills are processed via telephone, during regular
business hours Monday through Friday. To make a request, call well before your prescription runs out and select the prescription refill option on the telephone menu.
In your message, include your name and phone number, the child's name and birth date, the name and dosage of each medication, and name and phone number of your pharmacy. In general, your request will be filled by the next business day. Our office will notify you if a visit is required before refilling your prescription.
Stimulant Medication Prescriptions for stimulant medications, such as Ritalin®, Focalin®, Concerta®, Adderall®, or Vyvanse® cannot be dispensed by phone. A written prescription must be presented directly to your pharmacist. A pharmacy may only dispense one month's supply at any one time. Please call each month during regular office hours, with at least 24 hours advance notice, to request your prescription for pick-up. In your message, please include your child's name and birth date as well as the name and dosage of each medicine. Patients who take stimulant medications should be seen at regular intervals (usually every 3 months ) to monitor progress, growth parameters and side effects. We can only provide refills if appropriate follow-up visits take place. Patients over 18 years of age must pick up their own prescriptions unless they have completed a 18 year old packet / release patient Form. |
