Have you ever been confused about the difference between a prescription renewal and a prescription refill? There’s also the issue of expiration. Do medicines have an expiration date, and can expired drugs still be consumed?
We can refill your medication, once the quantity you have runs out, if there is an extra amount remaining on your prescription. Once your refills have ran out, then you will need to get your prescription renewed. We have the authority to renew chronic medications for up to one year now, speak to your pharmacist for further details. Any medication we can not renew, we can contact your doctor to get a renewal. Your medication will be well managed with us!
You should not use medications after the expiration date, even if they are still effective. The expiration date is a sign of how well the drug will function and whether it is safe to take.
We are registered with Health Product Stewardship Association (HPSA) to ensure the safe and proper disposal of your medications and sharps. If you need your medication and/or sharps disposed of please bring it to the pharmacy, and we will ensure the safe disposal of it.
