Moving away from home can disrupt medication routines. Whether you use a local pharmacy, mail-order service, or on-campus pickup, preparation is key.
Why does it matter? Missed doses or delays in treatment can lead to increased attacks or ER visits. Ensuring medication access means one less thing to worry about when you’re settling into campus life.
Tips for Success:
- Schedule a refill plan well in advance of your move.
- Consider mail-order prescriptions with auto-refill to your dorm or apartment.
- If keeping your home provider, schedule in-person appointments for school breaks.
- If switching providers, prepare a Transfer Packet with your history, medication list, and treatment notes.
