Prescriptions on the road

My husband has to take strong painkillers for his back problem. How do you travel more than one month and get your medicines refilled? Especially in other states? We live in Texas.
  • Are they narcotics or not?
    Can your MD electronically prescribe or is he still on paper prescriptions? Call and ask
    Makes a big difference.
  • The first place to start is figure out what your insurance will allow. Mine insists on only allowing them to be mailed to me, but they will will do an extra 90 day vacation advance once a year. It's a pain (so to speak) but we make due with it.

    If they'll allow them to be be picked up anywhere, then you have WalMart, KMart, Costco, Fred Meyers, Krogers, CVS, Walgreens and many more.
