In an emergency, the pharmacist will be able to provide you with a prescription. However, if the pharmacist believes that the drug or dose is inappropriate for you, they may refuse to prescribe it. If the drug is delivered, you may be required to pay for it, even if you typically do not. An emergency prescription is written when there is no time to send out requests for prescriptions. These can include severe pain, shock, heart problems, and more. To get a prescription from the pharmacist, you must go into any Walgreens pharmacy (not just those in Florida). There are some drugs that will only be prescribed in an emergency. The pharmacist will be able to tell you if the drug falls under this category. It is important to understand that even if you have a prescription, a drug in an emergency situation may still not be available at all pharmacies. If this is the case, the pharmacist may advise you on other alternatives. If you have difficulty paying for your prescription, contact your local Walgreens pharmacy before going to fill your order. They may be able to help.
