# How do I choose a pharmacy?

Before scheduling your first appointment, you will be prompted to choose a default pharmacy. This ensures that any prescriptions your provider creates will be sent to your preferred pharmacy.

- To choose or change your default pharmacy, click on "Settings" and then select "Pharmacies" from the dropdown menu.
- You will need to select both a "Freedom Pharmacy" and "Other/Chain Pharmacy." The Freedom Pharmacy will be used for specialty medications, such as Ivermectin, while the Other/Chain Pharmacy will be used for urgent prescriptions, such as antibiotics.
- Select your preferred options of Freedom Pharmacy and Other/Chain Pharmacy and click on Set as Default.
