Adding Refills

If a product is prescription only (finished or compounded) and the patient runs out of refills, the product cannot be refilled without authorization from a provider. The NUNM Medicinary staff will not contact providers to request refills but will advise patients to contact their provider.  The provider can then contact us to authorize the refill(s).

If the product prescribed is an over–the–counter product (not requiring a prescription), the product can be sold without a prescription. Our staff will suggest that the patient contact their provider to check if they should still be taking the product.

We offer a 10% discount to NUNM/OCOM alumni and health care providers for most products in the Medicinary.
