What if I need the prescription right away, e.g. asthma drugs, heart medicine, or antibiotics?
If you can’t wait very long for your prescription medication, then simply set the time period for the auction for a shorter period of time. Or, you can leave the default time period of 72 hours, but you can choose your pharmacy whenever you like, even as soon as the initial competitive bids from pharmacies are shown on the website. Of course, you will want to choose a local community pharmacy rather than a mail service or internet pharmacy if you need the medication right away.
