Caregiver services
Prescription service any time — day or night
Walgreens understands the important role caregivers have. Managing your loved one’s prescriptions can seem overwhelming. How do you as a caregiver know how much of each prescription to give, or when? What if different doctors prescribe medications that interact with each other? For questions such as these, turn to your Walgreens pharmacy.

Medication Report
After enrolling in the services recommended by the personalized report, you will receive free medication reports to discuss with your Walgreens pharmacist. These reports demonstrate how effective these services have been in helping manage your care recipient’s medications. The report includes your care recipient’s medication and refill profiles, as well as the pharmacist’s recommended goals.
Medication Manager
This free personalized chart identifies all your care recipient’s day-to-day medications, providing a brief description, medication strength and dosage instructions. It’s also a great place to record additional over-the-counter medications and results of daily readings to discuss with your Walgreens pharmacist on your next visit.

Prescription discount programs
If your care recipient has limited or no prescription insurance and does not qualify for Medicare, a discount program may still be available. Just talk to your Walgreens pharmacist -- our free report will tell you which available programs cover the majority of their medications.*
E-mail reminders
Remind yourself when you need to order your care recipient's prescription refills, remember doctor's appointments, birthdays or other important events. We'll send you a reminder on the date you request. Reminders are pre-set to repeat monthly, or you can request a daily, weekly or yearly reminder.

Refill services that make it easy
Auto refills
A great service if your care recipient takes the same medication every month, especially if their prescriptions must be filled on different days of the month. Sign up in-store or online, and we’ll automatically refill each prescription a few days before it runs out — and then call or e-mail you when it’s ready.

Online refills
Visit Walgreens.com any time, from any computer. Tell us which
prescription you need refilled and where and when you’d like to pick it up. Even have it shipped right to your home!
