23. I get mine through the VA by mail.

As soon as I receive my medication, I put in for a refill. The computer activates it 10 day before I run out. I get it 3 days later. All my meds come from Wilmington. So far no problems. If you are using VA healthcare and you are running out of a med, your primary care can write you a prescription for 10 days worth at a local pharmacy.

Can you get refill at local pharmacy! SheltieLover Aug 2020 #1
