About the Wilmington VAMC Pharmacy
 The Wilmington VA Medical Center Outpatient pharmacy serves about 4,000 veterans per month and processes approximately 1,500 prescriptions daily. To help us serve you better, we have several ways for you to refill your prescriptions. Immediately after you get your first prescription or renewal from your doctor, you can request future refills by telephone, the internet or by mail. You can read more about refilling your prescriptions by clicking this link.

- Anticoagulation management and education
- Diabetes management and education
- Hypertension management and education
- General Medication education
- Consultation with physicians concerning proper medication dosage
- Inpatient pharmacy service for those who need extended care
Can I pick up my medication refill at the pharmacy?
Generally, we prefer that you not pick up your medication refills at the Outpatient pharmacy. Mailing refills allows your VA pharmacist the opportunity to spend more time answering questions and offering advice to other veterans receiving new medications. This also reduces waiting time for patients who are immediately starting new medications.
Can you fill a prescription written by my private physician?
As a general rule, VA pharmacies cannot automatically fill a prescription written by a private physician. To obtain VA medication for your medical condition, you must first see a VA provider. If the VA provider agrees with your private physician that specific medications are needed, your VA provider will provide a new VA prescription for you.
How do I obtain more medication if I don’t have any refills or if my prescription has expired?
Contact your VA provider. Your VA provider will then order additional medication as determined by your current medical condition.
