Patients can get a 30-day supply of medications even if there are no refills left with some exclusions in compliance with state and federal law. Walgreens will support impacted persons to obtain their medications including by contacting prescribers for needed refills, transferring prescriptions from other pharmacies, or by providing emergency refills if documentation of prior prescription history can be provided. Patients should call their local Walgreens pharmacy for options and information required to fill their prescription.
