Finding a pharmacy that stocks and fills Suboxone (buprenorphine-naloxone) can sometimes take a little extra effort, as not all pharmacies carry it consistently. Here are some tips to help you locate one in your area.
Pharmacies that typically work well for Suboxone:
•CVS Pharmacy: Generally reliable for filling Suboxone prescriptions at most locations. If one location is out of stock, try a nearby branch.
•Walmart Pharmacy: Often carries buprenorphine-naloxone at competitive prices and tends to be familiar with MAT prescriptions.
•Walgreens: Usually stocks Suboxone, though availability can vary by location. Calling ahead is always recommended.
•Independent pharmacies: Many independent pharmacies are experienced with MAT patients and can be a good alternative if chain pharmacies are unavailable.
Pharmacies that patients sometimes encounter issues with:
•Some smaller or rural pharmacy locations may not stock Suboxone regularly or may be unfamiliar with telehealth prescriptions. If a pharmacy declines to fill your prescription, this does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your prescription itself.
•Costco and Sam's Club pharmacies may have more limited hours or require membership for some services, which can create complications.
General tips:
•Always call ahead to confirm that the pharmacy has your medication in stock before making the trip.
•Let the pharmacist know the prescription is coming from a telehealth clinician, as this helps them prepare for the electronic prescription.
•If you are consistently having trouble finding a pharmacy, consider asking your QuickMD clinician about our home delivery program as an alternative.
