Honolulu Pharmacy - Doctors of Waikiki
FULLY STOCKED MEDICAL PHARMACY IN HONOLULU, HAWAII
We offer a full medical dispensary inside our clinic, so if you need over-the-counter medication or controlled substances, you can purchase just about everything during your appointment. We carry antibiotics, medication for pain and fever, topical ointments, topical corticosteroids, medication for inflammation, and more.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
We are licensed to prescribe and dispense controlled substances. There are very few doctors that are licensed to do both. A specialized space is required, which includes extra security, approval by the state, and a means of tracking each dispensed medication (patients are required to sign out when they accept a controlled substance). We are also connected to the state’s narcotics division so we can see when our patients pick up medication from Longs, Walgreens or another pharmacy. We regulate their medication to make sure an opioid dependency isn’t created.
FAQ ABOUT OUR HONOLULU PHARMACY
How long will it take to get my prescription filled?
Doctors of Waikiki strive to provide fast and efficient service to all our patients. Typically, prescriptions are filled within 15-20 minutes. However, the exact time can vary depending on the complexity of the prescription and the current pharmacy workload. If there are any potential delays, our staff will inform you promptly. For those who prefer not to wait, we offer a convenient prescription drop-off service. You can leave your prescription with us and return at a later time to pick it up. Our goal is to ensure you receive your medication as quickly and accurately as possible, allowing you to focus on your health and well-being.
What should I do if I miss a dose of my medication?
Missing a dose of your medication can happen to anyone, but it’s important to handle it correctly to maintain your treatment’s effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one. Some medications have specific instructions regarding missed doses, so it’s always best to consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider if unsure. Our team at Doctors of Waikiki is available to answer any questions you might have about your medication regimen.
How should I dispose of unused or expired medication?
Proper disposal of unused or expired medication is crucial to prevent potential harm to others and the environment. At Doctors of Waikiki, we recommend bringing your unused or expired medications to our pharmacy for safe disposal. Do not flush medications down the toilet or throw them in the trash, as this can pose environmental hazards. We participate in medication take-back programs that ensure safe and eco-friendly disposal. Additionally, we provide information on how to manage and reduce medication waste, helping you maintain a safer home environment.
What are some tips for storing medication properly at home?
Proper storage of medication is essential to maintain its efficacy and safety. Here are some tips from Doctors of Waikiki:
- Keep medications in their original containers: This helps prevent mix-ups and ensures you have all the necessary information, such as dosage and expiration date.
- Store medications in a cool, dry place: Avoid storing them in bathrooms or near sinks where humidity and heat can degrade the medication.
- Keep medications out of reach of children and pets: Consider using child-proof containers and storing them in high or locked cabinets.
- Check expiration dates regularly: Dispose of expired medications properly to avoid using ineffective or potentially harmful drugs.
- Follow specific storage instructions: Some medications may require refrigeration or other special storage conditions.
Does your pharmacy accept returns on unopened medication?
For the safety of all our patients, Doctors of Waikiki does not accept returns on open or used medications. However, we accept returns of unopened medication in certain situations, such as if there was an error in dispensing or if the medication is recalled. All returns are handled on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance with safety regulations and pharmacy laws. If you have any concerns about a medication you have purchased, please contact our pharmacy staff at (808) 922-2112 for assistance.
