Foreign prescriptions while in Florida
A prescription from another country may not be directly fillable at a Florida pharmacy. Bring the labeled medication, a legible prescription, your diagnosis and a medicine list; a Florida clinician must make an independent decision before issuing a new US prescription.
Pharmacy rules and verification
A Florida pharmacist decides whether a prescription meets applicable dispensing rules. An online consultation cannot promise that an overseas prescription will be honored or converted.
Information to bring
Share the generic ingredient name, strength, dosing schedule, country of origin, prior medical history, allergies and any available lab results. Brand names and formulations vary between countries.
When a new evaluation is needed
Some medicines need monitoring, an examination or a local specialist. Controlled substances are not offered through this service. Do not pay until you ask if your medicine can be considered.
Common questions
Is a prescription guaranteed?
No. A clinician decides whether an established non-controlled prescription can safely be continued.
Can I use a Florida pharmacy?
Yes, if a prescription is clinically appropriate; pharmacy charges are separate.
What if I have an emergency?
Call 911 or seek an emergency department; this is not emergency care.
