Walgreens offers advice as hurricane season begins

Walgreens is offering medication advice to help pharmacy patients prepare for hurricane season, which officially started on June 1. Walgreens advises patients to do the following: If you evacuate, get to a safe location first and refill your medication at a pharmacy there. Also take a waterproof bag with your current medication, even if the bottle is empty, since the information on the label will help the pharmacist refill your medicine. Also keep a written record of your current prescriptions in your valuable papers file. Walgreens' patients can register on-line at Walgreens.com and print out their records directly from their patient profile.
