Prescription Renewal Guide
At the time of your appointment, you will be given written prescriptions. Please take them to your pharmacy at your earliest convenience so they don’t get misplaced. The pharmacy will keep them on file until you need them.
Please do not wait until you are totally out of a medication before calling for a refill. 72 hours is needed to complete the approval process. It is a great idea to reorder one week before your medication runs out. Medications cannot be refilled on Saturdays and Sundays. If there is a crisis, it will be handled by the doctor on call.
If you run out of a medication before your next appointment, do not stop the medication unless you have been told to do so. Call your pharmacy for a refill even if it says "0 refills." The pharmacy will contact us for an OK to refill. They can fax requests to us at 651-653-0288.
Take your medication as prescribed. If there has been a change in dosage since your last appointment and you need an earlier refill, again call the pharmacy and let them know there has been a change in dosage. They will call this office for an OK.
The first time you need a prescription, call AALFA. Phone hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will fax the order to the pharmacy. Please have your pharmacy phone or fax number available.
If you need written prescriptions for mail order, you can mail your request to AALFA. Please include a list of the medications, doses and frequency.
If you are changing pharmacies between appointments, call the office with the name, telephone number of the new pharmacy, and a list of medications and dosages. Patients need to be seen at least yearly.
We are not able to sign or complete any Canadian drug program forms. We can give you a prescription that you can mail or have filled wherever you wish.
Our goal is to have an accurate list of the medications you are taking. Please remember to bring this into the office with you. Thank you for your cooperation!
