Common Questions
How do I refill a prescription?
You can request refills by calling the pharmacy, using our secure online health portal, or visiting us in person. We recommend requesting refills 2-3 days in advance.
How do I transfer my prescription?
Simply call us with your medication details and your previous pharmacy's contact info. We will handle the entire clinical transfer process for you.
What do I need for a new prescription?
Please bring physical prescriptions (if your doctor hasn't sent it electronically), a valid photo ID, and your current insurance card to ensure smooth processing.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance and Medicare plans. Copay amounts are determined by your insurance company and collected at pickup or delivery.
Can I walk in for a vaccine?
Yes! We offer walk-in clinical vaccinations for flu, shingles, and more. No appointment is necessary during our regular business hours.
Do you offer home delivery?
We offer local home delivery within the Coats community. Contact the pharmacy staff or ask when refilling to see if you are in our delivery range.
Medication Safety Guides
Following Directions
Storing Medications
Always take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip doses or double up if you've missed one. Consistency is key to ensuring the medication works effectively for your health.
Store your medicine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid bathroom cabinets where humidity from the shower can degrade the pills. Always keep medications out of reach of children and pets.
Missed Doses
When to Call Us
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue your regular routine. Never take two doses at once.
Reach out to your pharmacist immediately if you notice unusual side effects, have difficulty swallowing your medication, or if you have questions about how your different prescriptions interact.
