A: In case of a medical emergency, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact your primary care physician.

A: If you are an active patient of our clinic and we prescribed this medication to you in the past, we are more than happy to refill your prescription for you. If we haven’t seen you in a while, we may request that you schedule an appointment with us before we can refill your prescription.
We ask that you request refills via the patient portal two weeks before your prescription runs out because some prescriptions require a prior authorization from your insurance company. We recommend that you do not wait until you are down to your last pill to request a refill, so that you don’t experience any interruptions in your medication regimen.
