The pharmacy strives to give the highest
quality medication care for the patient with convenience and reasonable
prices. In addition to filling prescriptions from the Student Health Center
(Uptown) physicians and nurse practitioners, the pharmacy also fills
prescriptions from physicians not associated with the Student Health Center
(Uptown). This includes both local and out-of-town practitioners.
The pharmacy will also telephone other
pharmacies to transfer prescriptions from drug stores to the Student Health
Center Pharmacy. This applies to local and out-of-town pharmacies. The
Student Health Center (Uptown) Pharmacy willingly transfers prescriptions on
its files to the patient's pharmacy of choice by having their private
pharmacy call the Student Health Center (Uptown).
Besides filling prescriptions, the
pharmacy also carries a number of over-the-counter medications. Although the
over-the-counter product selection is not extensive, the selection is
sufficient to handle most minor medical problems.
If you have any questions about the
medication you are taking, whether prescription or non-prescription, the
pharmacy will counsel you about side effects, precautions to observe, etc.
Feel free to stop by or phone the pharmacy for drug information.

have prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. The pharmacy accepts checks,
cash, Visa™ / MasterCard™, Discover Card, Tulane debit card, and charges to

not accept insurance cards, but will assist you with insurance claim forms
and provide detailed receipts for reimbursement from your insurance company.
