UHS Medication and Supply Storage Policy

Medication and Supply Storage Policy

University Health Service (UHS) is unable to store medications or medical supplies on behalf of patients.

Refrigerated Medications: Refrigerated medications delivered to UHS must be picked up by the intended recipient within three (3) business days of delivery. UHS is unable to accommodate storage beyond this timeframe.

Exceptions: This policy does not apply to refrigerated medications designated for infusion treatments, single-dose injections administered by UHS nursing staff, or allergy shot serum used for allergy injections administered by UHS nursing staff.

For infusion treatments and single-dose injections administered at UHS, medication will only be stored for one scheduled treatment at a time. Shipments containing medication for multiple treatments or future appointments cannot be accommodated due to limited storage capacity.

Patients are responsible for making arrangements to retrieve their medications and supplies within the designated timeframe.
