Out-of-hospital prescriptions

Komagome Hospital promotes out-of-hospital prescriptions, in accordance with the national government policy of dispensing separation.

You are asked to have your prescription filled at a dispensing pharmacy near you.

The benefits of having a “family pharmacy” include the following.

  1. The pharmacy will keep a record of your prescription history.
  2. The pharmacist will inform you on possible side effects of your medication, and interactions with drugs prescribed to you by other hospitals. The pharmacy will also keep a record of your allergies to help make sure your medication is safe for you to take.
  3. The pharmacy can give you information on the drugs prescribed to you by your doctor or dentist.
  4. The patient is free to choose any dispensing pharmacy as his/her family pharmacy.

Please present your prescription to a dispensing pharmacy no later than 4 days from the day the prescription is written.
