NEX pharmacy begins taking hand-written prescriptions

By Pacific Regional Medical Command, News ReleaseApril 5, 2012

HONOLULU -- Tripler Army Medical Center is excited to announce a new service at the satellite pharmacy located at the Navy Exchange Pearl Harbor.

The NEX pharmacy began accepting handwritten prescriptions for formulary medications from civilian physicians, March 15. As the pharmacy expands its services and hires additional employees, any prescription dropped off regardless of the day will be ready to pick up in 48 hours.

As the service is streamlined, prescriptions can be dropped off Monday -- Friday by 6 p.m. and they will be available for pickup within 48 business hours.

In addition, the NEX pharmacy provides a new secure video teleconference service for those patients who desire to speak with a pharmacist if they have any questions on their medications, or should a pharmacist need to speak with them about their medication history. Patients can talk one-on-one with a licensed pharmacist at Tripler from the convenience of the NEX location.

For your convenience the NEX refill pharmacy is open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. (closed for lunch 2-2:30 p.m.) Please feel free to call the Tripler pharmacy at 808-433-7880 or the NEX pharmacy at 808-422-2602 for more information.
