How to transfer a prescription to a compounding pharmacy

September 18, 20263 min read

A prescription transfer moves an existing, unfilled or partially filled prescription from one pharmacy to another. Your prescriber does not need to write anything new.

What to have ready

The name and address of your current pharmacy, the medication name and strength, your prescriber's name, and your date of birth. That is typically enough to start.

What we handle

We contact your current pharmacy for the transfer, confirm the prescription is still valid with your prescriber's office if anything is unclear, and call you before we prepare the first dose so you know what to expect and when.

Timing

Most transfers take a day or two once the current pharmacy responds. Refillable prescriptions that are already on file are usually quicker than a first-time transfer.

If you are not sure whether your prescription can be transferred, call us with the medication name and your current pharmacy's phone number and we will find out for you.
