Yes, it is possible to get a prescription from a walk-in clinic. However, there are very strict limitations in what a walk-in clinic can prescribe for you; they are not a substitute for a primary care physician and there are strict limitations on what they can and cannot prescribe. Walk-in clinics will not have access to your complete medical history, and it will be difficult for them to complete a comprehensive exam without having that. If you have a chronic or long-term health condition, it is recommended that you see a primary care physician rather than use walk-in clinics as a stop-gap solution. Certain walk-in clinics may, in an emergency situation, write you a stop-gap prescription until you can see your primary care physician, but you should always call ahead to make sure that is the case. Walk-in clinics are typically there to treat and diagnose temporary injuries or illnesses, such as ear infections, sprains, strep throat, or upper respiratory infections. They also provide preventive care, such as STD testing or vaccines, but the chances that they will be able to write you a long-term prescription is rare. It is recommended that if you have a chronic or long-term health condition or ailment, that you see a primary care physician who will have access to your complete medical history.
