non-controlled medications. If you want to order schedule III – V
medications, you must follow the steps as follows:
- You can
transfer your schedule III-V drugs one time. We do not fill schedule II
medications.
- If you
transfer to our pharmacy, you cannot take it back to any other pharmacy.
- Now, we accept
schedule III – V
prescriptions from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin prescribed by MD or DO.
- We cannot
accept a faxed prescription for a Schedule III-V drug. You can mail in
your prescription or ask your doctor to call your prescription into our
pharmacy at (866) 499-1940.
- All
prescription orders for Schedule III-V drugs will require a signature on
delivery.
