2418 will improve the process for medical patients to obtain their prescription
drugs and follow their doctor’s instructions on taking their medications. It
will provide patients with a choice between picking up their medications at a

making it more convenient for patients to pick up all their medications on one
trip to the pharmacy and allows patients who run out of eye drops to obtain an
early refill.
