If appropriate, the Health Center physician may prescribe and dispense commonly used medications to a student who has had a physician appointment. There is a $5.00 fee for prescription medications dispensed in the Health Center. If the medication is not in stock, a prescription will be written to obtain from a local pharmacy at the student's expense. Clinical Services is not a pharmacy and cannot dispense or refill prescription medications for chronic illnesses. Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have special programs to assist people who can't afford to buy the drugs they need. Each company has its own program with its special requirements, forms, and procedures. Websites such as needymeds.com may provide further assistance.
