In British Columbia, patients can transfer their prescriptions between pharmacies at their discretion. Here are some steps to follow when transferring a prescription:
Contact the new pharmacy: You can contact the new pharmacy by phone, online, or in person. You'll need to provide your name, date of birth, and the medications you want to transfer. You'll also need to provide the contact information for your current pharmacy.
Verification process: The new pharmacy will contact your current pharmacy to verify your information and request the transfer. They may also receive information about your drug allergies, health conditions, and insurance.
Review information: Review the information that the new pharmacy receives with them.
Notify your doctor's office: Let your doctor's office know that you've moved to a new pharmacy.
