Meds

What do you folks do about getting your meds filled while traveling? My wife is on a narcotic that she can only get 30 days at a time. Doc will not post date scripts. We never really have a landing spot to have script sent to pharmacy. :h
  • If doctor knows you are traveling, call the office and have them fax a one-time script to whatever pharmacy you are close to. Pick it up, and then continue onward. We use Walmart for most of ours, because they are easy to find, and the pharmacy records are always available at any store. Watch out for states that only one prescriription transfer, such as New York.
  • Problem is the doc wouldn't mail script to her and we can't tell far enough ahead where we will be.:?
  • Some of the nationwide pharmacies and walmart allow you to refil at local places. If not that how about a relative or friend?
