How to renew a prescription is one of those things we all need at some point—yet it’s surprisingly easy to overthink. Do you call the doctor? The pharmacy? Can you renew if you’re out of refills? At Smile Rx NJ, we simplify every step so you can stay on schedule and feel your best without the runaround.
Good news: For most maintenance meds, the pharmacy can coordinate your renewal and contact your prescriber for you. If you’re switching pharmacies, we can securely transfer your prescriptions in minutes—so you don’t lose a single dose.
