Filling & Transfers

New Prescriptions, Refills, Renewals

Prescription Services

We fill new and existing prescriptions and help transfer eligible prescriptions from another pharmacy. Before dispensing, the pharmacist reviews dose, directions, allergies, interactions and monitoring needs — and can explain how to use the medication and what to do if a dose is missed.

RenewalsAdaptationsRefillsTransfers

A pharmacist may be able to renew or adapt certain prescriptions after assessing your needs — changing dose, dosage form, instructions or length of treatment. This isn't automatic, and follow-up with the original prescriber may be recommended.

Learn About Prescription Services

Medication Reviews

A medication review is a private, one-on-one consultation about everything you take — prescription and non-prescription products, vitamins, supplements, inhalers, creams, drops and injectables.

Side effectsInteractionsMissed dosesFollow-up

It's a chance to understand what each medication is for, review your schedule, and flag anything that may need prescriber follow-up. Eligibility and coverage requirements may apply.

Individualized Preparation

When a Standard Product Isn't a Fit

Compounding Pharmacy

Compounding is the preparation of a medication for an individual patient according to a prescription — a non-standard strength, a prescribed alternative form, or a formulation without a particular ingredient.

Custom strengthAlternative formIngredient review

Not every medication can or should be compounded. The pharmacist reviews the formulation, ingredients, evidence and pharmacy capabilities before accepting the prescription. Preparation time and cost depend on the formulation.

Compliance and Blister Packaging

Compliance packaging organizes suitable medications by date and time — morning, noon, evening, bedtime or another prescribed schedule.

Multiple medicationsComplex schedulesCaregiver support

Not every medication can go into a package — inhalers, creams, liquids, injections, refrigerated products and as-needed medications may require separate storage. The pharmacist reviews your medication list before confirming it's appropriate.

Transfer Your Prescriptions to Nanton Family Pharmacy

To begin, provide:

✓Your name and date of birth
✓Your contact information
✓The name of your current pharmacy
✓The medications you want transferred
✓Current insurance information

Advance Notice Helps

Prescription Refills

Request your refills before your medication runs out. Advance notice gives the pharmacy time to confirm authorized refills remain, check availability, process insurance, contact your prescriber if needed, prepare compliance packaging and arrange delivery.

Refill timing depends on the prescription, medication supply, insurance requirements and any follow-up that may be needed.

Insurance Claim Processing

We can submit eligible prescription claims to many public and private benefit plans. Coverage depends on the medication, refill timing, deductibles, co-payments and any prior authorization required.

Direct claim submission does not guarantee a medication or service is covered.

Ask Your Pharmacist

Pharmacist Counselling

Pharmacists are medication experts. Don't stop, change or share a prescription medication without appropriate guidance — ask instead.

What is this medication for? How and when should I take it? Should I take it with food? What if I miss a dose? What side effects should I know about? Could it interact with my other medications? How should I store it? Does it require monitoring? When should I request a refill? Is follow-up recommended?

Pharmacy Care and Pharmacist Prescribing

Beyond prescription services, our prescribing pharmacists may assess eligible minor health concerns, renew certain prescriptions, provide available testing, and prescribe treatment when clinically appropriate. Care begins with an individual assessment — a prescription isn't guaranteed, and some concerns need another healthcare provider.
