You can then follow the pharmacy's normal process for obtaining your medication.

Can You Get a Prescription Refill Online in Virginia?

In many situations, Virginia residents can request eligible prescription refills online.

However, several factors can affect whether your request is approved.

Your provider may consider:

• Whether your prescription is still valid
• Whether refills remain
• Your current health status
• Your medication history
• Whether the medication requires monitoring
• Whether a follow-up appointment is necessary
• Applicable prescribing requirements

If your prescription has expired or has no refills remaining, you may need a new prescription rather than a routine refill.

An online request is therefore best understood as the beginning of a medical review, not a guarantee that medication will be renewed.
