The pharmacy staff will set up a profile for you and have your medication ready in a set amount of time. If we do not have your medication, it usually takes one business day to have it available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to the pharmacy we will not automatically fill a faxed prescription for you. Please contact us first to set up a profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filling a prescription you&#8217;ve had before:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re coming from a Canadian city, then your medications can be transferred to our pharmacy (some restrictions on certain medications).
