Need Prescriptions When Traveling?

You should get your prescriptions filled before you travel. But, if you need a prescription filled while traveling you can:

• Go to a military pharmacy if one is nearby. You should call them first to see if they stock your prescription.
• Find the closest network pharmacy, which are available in the U.S. and U.S. Territories.
  • If a network pharmacy isn't available, you can visit a non-network pharmacy.
• Use home delivery if you're taking a long vacation. You can arrange for any regular prescriptions to be filled via home delivery.
