E-Prescriptions

At Clínica Hispana Nueva Salud Pasadena there is no pharmacy inside the clinic. What we do is more practical for many families: after your visit, the physician sends your prescription electronically to the pharmacy you choose, near your home, your work or your kids' school, and you pick it up there whenever it suits you.

How do e-prescriptions work?

During the visit, tell us which pharmacy it should go to: the name and the address or nearest cross streets are enough. When the visit ends, the physician sends it from the clinic and you leave with an explanation in Spanish or English of how to take each medication. No paper slip to lose and no trip back for a printed prescription.

Which treatments are prescribed this way?

Whatever the physician prescribes at your visit: antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and pain relievers, medications for blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, allergy medications, treatments for vaginal and urinary infections and other commonly used ones. When a generic version exists, you can ask for it at the pharmacy.

Why generics?

They contain the same active ingredient, in the same dose and with the same quality controls as the brand, and usually cost less. When there is a relevant difference between brand and generic, the physician tells you; when there is not, the generic is the option that protects your wallet.

Will they explain how to take it?

Yes, before you leave the visit: dose, times, with or without food, for how many days, what to do if you miss a dose and which side effects are normal and which are not. It is also checked that the new medication does not interfere with the ones you already take, which is why it is important to always bring your list or your bottles.

Can I switch pharmacies later?

Yes. If you prefer another pharmacy, or the one you chose tells you it doesn't have the medication, call (281) 747-8817 and we'll sort it out with you. Renewing a long-term treatment requires a follow-up visit, which is quick and needs no appointment. No health insurance is needed for the visit; we accept cash and cards.

What should I know about antibiotics?

Take the full course, for the days indicated, even if you feel better sooner; do not save them "for next time" or share them. A misused antibiotic stops working when it is really needed. If it does not agree with you, do not stop it without telling us: it is switched for another.

What is the visit like?

Walk in from 9 AM to 9 PM, see the physician and, if a medication is prescribed, the prescription is sent to the pharmacy you picked when the visit ends. Bring your medication list, your allergies and the name of your pharmacy. Long-term treatments are managed under chronic conditions; the lab tests sometimes ordered to monitor a medication, under blood tests.
