Save time! Call ahead for refills.
Plan ahead! The prescription label tells you how many refills remain and if the prescription has passed its expiration date.
If your bottle says "NO REFILLS" or if it has gone past the expiration date even though it still shows refills, call us. We cannot give you your medication unless we have been given permission to do so by your physician. We will contact your doctor for you. Keep in mind that refill requests can take up to 72 hours to be answered.
Do you have a new insurance plan or card? No problem! The time to tell us about it is when you first make your refill request or hand in that new prescription. This saves you even more time because the pharmacy staff will not have to process your prescription twice.
Do we have $4.00 prescriptions? Although we cannot buy medications in the large volumes that the chain pharmacies do, we can often get very close to that infamous $4.00 price on generic medications. Give us a call for a price quote. We believe you will be happy with our prices especially after you have experienced our fast, friendly service.
Save time! Save gas!

July is UV Safety Month
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer. UV damage can also cause wrinkles and blotchy skin.
Byrnes Pharmacy is proud to participate in UV Safety Month to help raise awareness of the risks of sun damage.
There are two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB. UVB rays are responsible for sunburns; UVA rays cause skin cancer and aging skin. UVA rays do not cause visible sunburn.
Sunscreens have Sun Protection Factor ratings. These SPF ratings apply only to the UVB rays. The SPF rating is actually an estimate of how long a person can stay in the sun without obvious sunburn. For example: if a person would get sunburned in 10 minutes with NO protection, an SPF 15 sunscreen will protect from sunburn 15 times longer, for 150 minutes. An SPF 30 will protect 30 times longer, for 300 minutes. In addition, at this time, there is no proof that an SPF over 50 gives any measurable added benefit.
Proper application of sunscreen is the key. Sunscreens need to be applied 20 minutes prior to sun exposure and then reapplied at least every 2 hours, and even more often if there is water exposure or heavy sweating.
UVA ratings will start to show up on sunscreen labels with 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars indicating low, medium, high, or highest UVA protection. Use sunscreens that are labeled "broad-specctrum".
Another part of the sunburn equation to keep in mind is that many medications increase photosensitivity, increasing the chances that the skin will burn.
You can take steps today to protect your skin:
If possible, stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher.
If you must be out during the middle of the day or for an extended period of time,
cover up with long sleeves and a hat.
Check your skin regularly for changes.
Wear your sunglasses. UV rays can also hurt your eyes.
Stop in at Byrnes Pharmacy and ask for our chart, courtesy of the Pharmacists Letter publication: "Drugs that Increase Photosensitivity". Then let one of our friendly pharmacists look over your medication list to see if any of your prescriptions or OTC meds or suppliments, could increase your chances for sunburn.
During the month of July, join us in taking ACTION to prevent skin cancer and reduce the risk of any UV damage!
