Question : Hi my name is XXXXXXX Schultz I'm 54 years old. Four months ago I went to urgent care for a sleeping issue. Ended up being put on blood pressure medication and a thyroid pill. He also gave me a nonrefillable prescription of 15 pills of lorazepam which I ran out of a few days ago. They worked well for me. At the follow up visit I didn't I didn't mention the sleep medication and it wasn't renewed. as you can see by the number of pills and how long ago it was, I didn't need them every day sometimes I went for a couple of weeks before having to take one. So I was wondering if it could be renewed here. I have insurance issues and don't want to go back to the clinic until I can take care of my XXXXXXX there. I have tried several over the counter and they don't help at all. I've only had 3 hrs of sleep in the last 48 hrs. when that happens I almost get into an anxiety about it. So that's my question can the prescription for the lorazepam be renewed here,

Brief Answer:
We do not refill prescriptions here

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Healthcare Magic services does not include prescription refills. There are other sites where you can get refills on some medications, however I do not think that any doctor on any site would be able to fill lorazepam. It is a controlled substance and is controlled by the Drug Enforcement Administration in the US. It would need to be prescribed by a local doctor. There is no site that I know of that could prescribe this for you online.
Wishing you the best,
Dr. Robinson
