The Student Health Center operates a Class D Pharmacy offering low cost medications and supplies.  Most medications ordered by our practitioners are available within the clinic pharmacy, as are many over-the-counter medications and supplies.  While our pharmacy does not directly accept outside prescriptions, one of our practitioners will gladly order something comparable after a brief office visit to evaluate the condition.  No payment is required at the time of service as all charges are billed to the student's account and payable at any time during the semester.

Most medications range in price from $5.00 to $20.00 per prescription, although most illnesses are treated with those in the lower price range.  While we have several medications that are expensive ($75 - $135), they are prescribed only if absolutely necessary and billed to the student at, or near, our cost. 

Birth control pills are available at $25.00 per pack. We also offer the birth control patch, Ortho Evra; and the injection, Depo-provera.  Our practitioners are usually able to select an acceptable alternative if we are not stocking the brand a student has been prescribed.   To receive birth control (pills, patch, injections), students are required to schedule an exam and pap smear at the Student Health Center, or bring a copy of their recent pap smear (performed within the past year). Refills on birth control pills / patches may be requested over the phone but require a 24 hour notice.

Numerous over the counter  medications and health and hygiene items are also available. Students always have the option of receiving a written prescription which can be filled at any pharmacy in Texas.
