Important Update: New Way to Access Your Medication Info

New Ways to Access Your Medication info

We’re making it easier -- and more secure -- for you to access your prescription medication information.
Starting July 2025, we will no longer provide printed medication information with your prescription.
Instead, we’ll include a QR code on the prescription label that you can scan with a smartphone to download medication information.
Why the change?
To protect your privacy and give you quick, on-the-go access to important medication details in a clear, digital format.
How to use the QR code:
- Locate the QR code on your prescription bottle or label.
- Open your smartphone’s camera and hold it about six inches from the code.
- Click the dropdown link that appears to view a short video and download printable medication information.
Medication videos include:
- Easy-to-understand explanations
- How to take your medication properly
- Possible side effects and conditions it treats
Prefer a printed copy?
No problem -- just ask your pharmacist!
We’re committed to keeping you informed and protected.
Thank you for trusting us with your care.
