The SHS Pharmacy is
staffed by registered pharmacists and technicians. The pharmacy serves
only the A&M student body. Pharmacists provide confidential individual
counseling on all prescriptions.
We accept
prescriptions from ANY MEDICAL PROVIDER licensed in the
UNITED STATES in accordance with state and federal law. If you
have questions about international prescriptions please contact the
pharmacy at (979) 458-8292.
The SHS Pharmacy
stocks medications common to the average 18 to 25 year old college student
including contraceptive products. If you
are prescribed a medication that we do not keep in stock, we may be able
to special order
that medication for you. Over-the-counter drugs
are also available at the pharmacy.
If you wish to
transfer an existing prescription (with remaining refills) from another
pharmacy to the SHS Pharmacy, please fill out the
Prescription Transfer In Form. If you have any questions about this
process please call 458-8292.
Our new On-Line Refill
system is now available for your convenience. You will need your
prescription number to use the
StORR. If you do not have your prescription number, you may also call
the Refill Line at (979)458-8295, and pick up your prescription the next
working day.
If you have any
questions, please read our
FAQ or give us a call at 458-8292
Regarding recent birth control price
increases...
Across the nation, all
university campuses have seen a dramatic increase in the cost of birth
control products. In the past, the drug companies that make these
products offered us a dramatically reduced price. All companies have
stopped offering this discounted price to universities.
At Texas A&M University,
we have tried to contain our costs to the students by switching to
lower-priced generics and by stocking up on the discounted products.
Unfortunately, the supply of discounted products is rapidly diminishing
and not all products are available generically. The generic products do
cost less than the branded products, but the price is still higher than
the discounted price. We will attempt to continue to control expense to
the students with prudent purchasing and business practices. Much to our
regret, we must still increase our prices on these products.
