Pharmacy

Fill your prescriptions without leaving campus and get over-the-counter medicine for colds, pain relief, acid reflux, allergies and other common problems.

Pharmacy Hours During COVID-19 Emergency

Your on-campus Pharmacy is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for in-person service to fill your prescriptions and for your over-the-counter medications needs. Practice social distancing while in the pharmacy by staying six feet apart and wearing a face covering. For refills, use the PocketRx for the iPhone or Android devices for fast, convenient service. If you’re not in Columbia but within the state of South Carolina, we can mail your refills to your home. Call us at 803-777-4890 for details.

Sharps Containers

If you live on campus, you can get official sharps containers for your discarded diabetes supplies. We recommend using official sharps containers to keep your residence hall visitors and staff safe and informed about hazardous materials.

To Get Your Containers
Visit the lab on the first floor of the Center for Health and Well-Being. We'll give you one to use and one for backup. Return the container to us when it's full and we'll give you a new one.
