Refilling Your Child's Prescriptions

Ideally, prescription refills are best handled at your child's regularly scheduled office visit. At this time, we are able to review with you proper dosages and any potential problems. With this in mind, we are requesting that you bring all of your child's current prescription medications, including vitamins and supplements, to each routine appointment. In this way we can verify your child's medications and coordinate refills.

Hopefully this action will help eliminate the many phone calls for refills that should have been handled at the last office visit. Remember too that some medications require laboratory monitoring, and again, this is best documented during your child's office visit.

One final request is that you make every effort to schedule your child's follow-up appointment at the time of the office visit. This will prevent you from having to call the office at the last m inute for an urgent refill because you have run out of medicine. Optimal care requires teamwork and your cooperation.
