Pharmacy Help Needed
UpdatedHello. I just had my first appointment with my doctor and am excited to begin this process. However I have run into a problem getting my medication filled. There are no doctors in my area taking patients (WV) and so I have to go to PA. What I am hearing is pharmacies in PA will not fill for me because I'm a WV resident. WV pharmacies will not fill for me because my doctor is in PA. I know a lot of people in this area seek treatment in PA, so how are you all getting your prescriptions filled? Many of the pharmacies are literally rude when I explain my situation. Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Ask your dr in PA if he can recommend a pharmacy in PA that will fill your rx. If you know others who go to PA and get rx and don't have a problem getting them filled, ask them where they get their rxs filled. It is up to each individual pharmacist to decide of they want to fill a rx or not. If you have a regular pharmacy in WV that you use, go in and speak to the Pharmacy Manager there.
Thank you for the reply! The people I know who fill them did share the pharmacy info with me. When I called that pharmacy I was told they are "not accepting new patients??" My doctor said he doesn't know why an pharmacies in PA would NOT fill them, yet they won't. Prior to this I never really required much medication and when I did I typically just filled it at Walmart pharmacy so I don't necessarily have a rapport with a local pharmacy. I will, however try speaking with managers at a few local pharmacies and see if this helps at all. Thanks for the advice.
I'm having the same problem did you ever find a pharmacy?
You may get further talking to the Pharmacy Manager and not just the pharmacist on duty.
