WellCat Health Center Pharmacy
The WellCat Health Center (WCHC) Pharmacy is available to all registered students. We specialize in college health and carry a limited formulary of prescription medications as well as some over-the-counter products. The fees are set to recover costs, and are most often considerably less than those in the local community.
The WCHC Pharmacy is licensed by the California Board of Pharmacy and is operated by registered pharmacists. Prescriptions written by both WCHC clinicians and outside clinicians can be filled. Our services include pharmacist assistance, prescription drug information, screening for drug interactions, incompatibilities, and therapeutic duplications.
All questions directed to the pharmacist, as well as all prescription records, are confidential. Questions regarding any drugs or medications are welcome and will be answered honestly and to the best of the pharmacist's knowledge and ability. Students may take prescriptions written by WCHC clinicians to outside pharmacies for filling if desired.
Morning After Pill
Uh oh.... Need the morning after pill? The morning after pill is available at NO COST with your Family PACT card, or $12.00 plus applicable tax at our Pharmacy. The WellCat Health Center Pharmacy carries both Plan B(opens in new window) and Ella(opens in new window). As Plan B is less effective if you weigh over 165 pounds, it is your responsibility to tell the pharmacy if you weigh over 165 pounds so that you can receive Ella.
