Automatic Refills at Walgreens

I was constantly checking medicine bottles for refill dates. I discovered automatic refills at Walgreens. I set all of my husband's medications and mine on automatic refills and Walgreens e mails me when the prescriptions are ready. Walgreens has a wonderful web site full of perks. I also set up express pay with my credit card which speeds up the line at the drive through.

There is also a section to set up personal reminders and they will e mail you the reminder on the date you choose. This is good for doctor's appointments or anything you need to be reminded of.

Walgreens is also offering $10 off of a prescription the first time you refill it via on line. You can also look up the side affects of the medications you are on.

I have found that dealing with one pharmacy is safer as they check for adverse affects that other medications you are on might have on a newly prescribed medication. Tax time is easy as you can print your medication expenditures online.

I am sure other major chain drug stores have these perks as well. I am just familiar with Walgreens. Dealing with a major chain enables you to get prescriptions refilled if you are out of town unexpectedly also.
