Pharmacy

The Stamps Health Services Pharmacy (SHS) provides prescription and non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications to the Georgia Tech community including staff and faculty members. Our goal at SHS is to provide prompt and accurate pharmacy care while protecting the rights of every patient.

Patients can request prescription refills at the pharmacy during business hours, via the automated telephone refill system 24 hours a day (404-894-1430), or through the online refill form. If you experience any issues with the online refill form, please call 404-894-1430 ext. 5 to request your refill.  Please leave a message if you call after business hours.

The pharmacy accepts most prescription insurance plans and can fill prescriptions from physicians outside of SHS.  Please call 404-894-1430 if you have any questions regarding your specific insurance plan.
