Can you print prescriptions for both controlled and non-controlled medications?

Printed Prescriptions for Medications

Updated over 3 weeks ago

For all medications (including Schedule II substances), federal and state regulations require that prescriptions be sent electronically directly to the pharmacy using secure Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) or e-prescribe.

Printed copies, screenshots, or PDFs cannot be used to fill these prescriptions, and pharmacies will not dispense controlled medications from them.

If you are not sure which pharmacy to use or need help, you may ask us for recommendations. Once you choose a pharmacy, we can send or reroute your prescription electronically to that location.
