How long will it take for a prescription medication from CVS to finish?

Question

I ordered it about ten minutes ago [10:40am] what time do you think it should be done by? I'm going away at 12pm so hopefully before then. Any ideas?

Answer 1

are you at the store now???

if so tell them your situation and see what they say and i DO NOT THINK THIS QUESTION WAS A WASTE OF TIME. it normally takes them at ,mine about 15 min.

Answer 2

Instead of asking on here, why don't you just pick up the phone and call your CVS Pharmacy and ask them?  It would be much more accurate than any guess the people on here could make.

Answer 3

Call them and talk to someone to make sure there are no problems with your prescription.  Explain your situation.  If they're good workers, they'll fill the prescription fast for you.    

Answer 4

it should take around a half hour but alot of cvs stores and to order more medcine so it may take a day or two

Answer 5

Call them and ask them.  It depends how busy they are.  And this question is a COMPLETE waste of time.

Answer 6

Your prescription can be ready by then, but it depends on how you ordered it.  Did you use rapid refill?  This automated system requires 2 hours lead time to fill a prescription.  If you handed in a written prescription, had a doctor call, or spoke to a live person when calling it in yourself, then it can be done much quicker--in plenty of time for you to leave.

Did you mention you were leaving?  I would call back, and let them know that you need it right away.  They are pretty good at accommodation those types of requests.  They'll even push you to the front of the queue to get it done for you, but you MUST let them know.
