Which pharmacies fill controlled substance prescriptions

Which pharmacies can fill a controlled substance from Circle Medical, which to call first, and which cannot.

Circle Medical sends controlled substance prescriptions to retail pharmacies and to some home delivery pharmacies. Not every pharmacy will fill one.

Call your chosen pharmacy before you set it as your preferred pharmacy. Ask if they are accepting new patients and can fill a controlled substance from a video appointment.

What about compounding, specialty, and hospital pharmacies?

They usually cannot fill a controlled substance from Circle Medical.

Circle Medical does not send a controlled substance prescription for ADHD to a compounding pharmacy. Standard commercial doses are available, so compounding is usually not needed.

Specialty pharmacies focus on rare-condition medications and often do not supply medications such as Adderall. Hospital and clinic pharmacies usually fill for inpatients only.
