Timely Tips for Medications and the Holidays


By: Lisa Conrad, RPh, Pharmacy Director

Holidays are often a time for travel.  Here’s a timely tip:  “Plan ahead and bring your meds!”  Be sure to check your prescription vials for an adequate supply to last through your vacation.  Your pharmacy may have to call your insurance company to authorize an early refill if you are due to run out of medication while you are out of town. 
Call ahead to your pharmacy as this required authorization can cause a delay in getting your prescription filled.  Keep your prescriptions in original containers while traveling.
