So I went to a CVS Clinic to get my DOT physical and got a 3-month card. Blood pressure was 140/100.
I asked if she could prescribe me some blood pressure meds and she said I had to get blood work done at a different location before being able to prescribe me meds. Is this the standard procedure? I thought that you could get blood pressure meds without doing blood work.
Do you have to get blood work in order to get blood pressure meds?

I think she means, CVS pharmacy can't write prescriptions.
I never had blood work done for blood pressure medicine. Your family physician can check your blood pressure and write a prescription for the medicine. I went to a pharmacy the other day and my prescription had run out. He said he can't renew the prescription, but if my doctor writes a new one he can refill it.Maj. Jackhole and SixShooterTransport Thank this. -

No, they can give it to you. But, if something else is going on, they wouldn't know. For $100 is dollars, if you have it. If you lose weight and walk 20 minutes twice a day it will help. Eat fruits and veggies, ect......

I would try to get it down naturally, but seeing as I have a 3-month card, I don't have much time to get it down so I'd rather not take chances and just get the meds
