Can you pick up prescriptions on behalf of someone else?

4 min read
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, a pharmacist is permitted to use their professional judgment to release a filled prescription to a third party, allowing you to pick up prescriptions on behalf of someone else. This flexibility is essential for patients who are unable to visit the pharmacy themselves, but it comes with specific procedures to protect patient privacy and ensure safety.
