Do I need a prescription for all medications at CVS?

Asked 6 months ago
No, you do not need a prescription for all medications at CVS. CVS offers a wide range of over-the-counter (OTC) medications that can be purchased without a prescription. These include common drugs for pain relief, cough and cold, allergies, and more. However, certain medications, especially those classified as controlled substances or prescription drugs, do require a valid prescription from a healthcare provider. These medications must be prescribed by a licensed professional and can only be dispensed with a prescription. CVS has both an in-store pharmacy and an online prescription service to cater to your needs. It is important to consult a healthcare professional or CVS pharmacist to determine if a prescription is required for the specific medication you are seeking.
