Welcome Refills FAQs
What if the doctor changes my dose?
Make sure the new prescription gets sent to the pharmacy with the new directions. Read the label of the new bottle carefully to make sure that you take the correct dose.

How soon should I request prescription refills?
Please request your next supply of medications at least two weeks before you need them. This allows time for processing and mailing, which can take 10-14 days.

What if my medication looks different?
If your medication looks different and there is no message sticker on the bottle stating that there has been a change in manufacturer, call the pharmacy and ask about it.

What if I have more questions?
If you have any problems or questions about your medications, call (612) 725-2590, Monday thru Friday, between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. At other times, you may reach a pharmacist by calling the Medical Center operator at (612) 725-2000. If it is an urgent situation, the operator will transfer you to the pharmacist on duty. Do not do this to request refills or prescriptions.
