Requests for refills of many long-term prescriptions, such as
those for allergies, asthma, GI reflux, and ADHD, can be made by
fax, online, or by phone. Please remember that any child on daily
or long-term medication needs a physical at least once a year.
If you feel your child’s chronic medication dosage needs
to be adjusted, please make an appointment to discuss your concerns
with one of our providers.
Due to DEA regulations, prescriptions for the following medications
will need to be picked up in person at our office: Adderall,
Concerta, Dexedrine, Metadate, Focalin, Vyvanse, and Ritalin.
Both phone and online refill mailboxes are checked twice a day,
Monday through Friday, during regular business hours. Prescriptions
should be ready either at the pharmacy or at our office within
48 hours (2 working days). Messages received late Friday and on
weekends or holidays will be handled on Monday, or the next business
day. Prescriptions should be ready either at the pharmacy or at
our office within 48 hours (2 working days). We do not routinely
call to notify you that your prescription is ready. Please call
your pharmacy to see if your medicine is ready. If it has been
over 48 hours and the Rx is still not ready, please have your pharmacy
contact our office.
Fax refills: The easiest way to request a refill is to
call the pharmacy that last filled the prescription, and have them
fax our office a refill request. Our refill fax line is 770-461-5993.
You can call your pharmacy 24 hours later to see if your medicine
is ready to pick-up.
Phone refills: To request a refill by phone, please call our office
and the receptionist will forward your call to the refill voice
mailbox. Please leave your name, your child’s full legal
name and date of birth, the name of the medication, the strength
or concentration of the medication, the dosing instructions (i.e.:
one capsule each morning), the pharmacy name and number, and a
phone number where we may contact you if we need clarification.
You may also specify if you would prefer to pick up your written
prescription in 48 hours at our front desk.
Online refills: To request a refill online, first
read the transmission disclaimer below. If you agree to these terms,
then click on “Agree” and
you will be forwarded to a secure section of our web site to supply
your specific information for the refill. |
