Emergency refill online
Can I Get an Emergency Prescription Refill Online?
Urgent online bridge refills may help with stable non-controlled medications, but emergencies and controlled substances are not handled online.
Short answer: Sometimes. If you ran out of a stable non-controlled medication, an online bridge refill may help, but emergencies, unstable symptoms, and controlled substances are not appropriate for this service.
- This is best understood as an urgent bridge refill, not emergency medical care.
- Controlled substances are not refilled.
- Stable prior medication details are required.
- Life-threatening symptoms require 911 or emergency care.
When an urgent bridge refill may help
It may help if your doctor’s office is closed, your appointment was delayed, you are traveling, or you need a short continuation of an established non-controlled medication.
When to seek emergency care
Chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe allergic reaction, suicidal thoughts, severe pain, uncontrolled symptoms, or pregnancy-related emergencies require urgent or emergency care.
