Medicines while traveling

Is it better to get a large supply of medicines or get a prescription to national chain while traveling

  • Depends on your insurance and whether you have a mail order option. Also are there any narcotics involved? Certain narcotics cannot be transferred between pharmacies even within the same chain. Example are things such as Oxycontin, percocet etc.
    The rules will even vary from state to state
  • Most will only give pills for 90 days so a national chain is the way to go.
  • We have had great results with our prescriptions through CVS. No issues at all. We have pet prescription pet medications that we get at Walmart and that was very easy as well.
