Where can I get prescription filled 24 hours, 7 days a week?

I know that nowadays some places have Walgreens and maybe another chain that is open 24 hours a day, but if you're not so lucky, where can you get them all filled in the wee hours of the morning?

When I was younger, there was exactly one pharmacy (we called them "drug stores" back then) where you could get a script filled at any time. It was in Boston proper (I think at Charles Circle, but I can't recall the name... can anyone help?) but when the Doctor called in a prescription off hours, it was the only place to get it.

Even today downtown has no overnight pharmacy.

That sucks. I hate civilian ,medical care (not that I haven't said that before on here). I miss being in the military and having things all in one place and of course 24-7.
(I should point out of course that almost nobody actually lives in Downtown Boston...)
I just thought if some places were posted, it might help folks find them. So post them up!

Joah, do the military bases allow civilians on base and are the pharmacies open to the public?
Depends what you define as civilians. The short answer is no, but then you get into those serving Reserves, retired, injured veterans, etc that use the pharmacy. Just about any civilian can get "on" base so long as they have a dl and insurance info on their vehicle (just sign in at front gate leaving your info). There still may be a few bases out there that are open bases where there are no ID checks. Many nice young ladies come visit soldiers daily. We generally refer to them as barracks ...........rhymes with bores. :oops: People can also get passes to come in and out if they are regulars (dominos delivery, cab drivers, etc).
My ready response when I saw the post was Walgreens. But, if you don't have one near you, I really don't know. Sorry.
Have you checked to see if there are any CVS or Rite Aid pharmacies?
I don't think there are 24 hour pharmacies anymore actually. There are harmacies open every day of the week, but not 24 hours by me.
I don't think we have any in my area either. :(

The CVS website says the stores below have 24 hour pharmacies but call to verify before driving over...

Do you have a Wegman's in Massachusetts? It's a local "grocery store" here in Upstate New York that has grown into a high-end, really wonderful food store that has an in-house pharmacy. I know they're in Pennsylvania and a couple of states farther south now, and many of them have 24 hour pharmacies.
We have several 24 hour chain pharmacies in Oklahoma City.

I have a fundamental disdain for chain pharmacies and would only use one if it was an urgent, middle of the night situation.
