Prescriptions & Refills
How long does it take to fill a prescription?
Most prescriptions are ready in about 10 minutes. If a medication needs to be ordered or requires insurance authorization, we'll let you know right away and give you a realistic time frame.
How do I transfer my prescriptions to Vine Discount Pharmacy?
It takes about five minutes and you only have to do it once. Call us at (323) 957-9446 or stop by with your prescription bottles, and we'll contact your current pharmacy to move everything over — usually the same day. You don't need to call your old pharmacy yourself.
Can I refill a prescription online?
Yes. You can request refills online through our Good Neighbor Pharmacy refill form, linked from our Refills page. You can also call us or text your refill request and pick up when it's ready.
Do you carry both brand-name and generic medications?
Yes. We carry a wide formulary and will proactively check for FDA-approved generic equivalents that can lower your cost without changing how well the medication works. If we don't have something in stock, we can usually order it quickly.
Services
What vaccines do you offer?
We offer walk-in immunizations including flu, COVID-19, and a range of travel vaccines — no appointment needed. Ask our pharmacist which vaccines are recommended for you this season.
Do you offer travel health consultations?
Yes. If you're planning international travel, we can review your itinerary, recommend the right travel vaccines, and help you prepare — ideally a few weeks before you leave.
Do you sell diabetes and medical supplies?
Yes. As Vine Discount Pharmacy & Medical Supply, we carry blood glucose monitors, test strips, insulin supplies, durable medical equipment, wound care, compression stockings, mobility aids, and more.
Can I get naloxone (Narcan) without a prescription?
Yes. In California, naloxone is available without an individual prescription. Ask our pharmacist — we can provide it and show you how to use it.
Is a consultation with the pharmacist really free?
Always. We offer free, private medication consultations. Bring your questions about interactions, side effects, or how to take your medications, and our pharmacist will walk you through it.
Insurance & Payment
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare Part D and Medi-Cal. Because coverage varies by plan, the fastest way to confirm yours is to call us at (323) 957-9446 with your insurance card handy — we're happy to check.
Can you help with Medicare open enrollment?
