When flu-like symptoms strike, getting answers shouldn't be complicated. Realo Drugs now offers convenient flu and COVID-19 testing, along with pharmacist-provided flu treatment for eligible patients. Our trained pharmacists can test for influenza, evaluate your symptoms, and prescribe antiviral medication when appropriate—all without a separate doctor's appointment.
Whether you're feeling under the weather or have recently been exposed to the flu, we're here to help you take the next step toward feeling better.
Not sure if it's the flu or COVID-19? Many symptoms overlap, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and headaches. Our point-of-care testing services can help you get answers and understand your next steps. We offer three convenient service options:
*If medication is prescribed by the pharmacist, the prescription must be filled at Realo Drugs.
Timing matters when it comes to flu treatment.
Antiviral medications work best when started early. Under our pharmacist treatment protocol, eligible patients must have developed flu-like symptoms within the past 48 hours to qualify for pharmacist-prescribed antiviral treatment.
Our flu treatment service is available to eligible patients ages 5 and older. Patients under 18 must have consent from a parent or guardian.
Even if you've been sick for more than 48 hours, flu testing and pharmacist counseling may still be available.
No separate doctor's appointment is required for our pharmacist-provided flu testing and treatment evaluation. Our trained pharmacists can assess eligible patients and prescribe flu antiviral medication when appropriate.
Yes! Eligible patients who test positive for influenza may receive a prescription for Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or another approved flu antiviral medication, depending on the pharmacist's assessment.
Not through this service. We offer COVID-19 testing, but patients requiring COVID-19 antiviral treatment will be referred to an appropriate healthcare provider.
Possibly! Certain higher-risk patients who have been exposed to influenza within the past 48 hours may qualify for preventive antiviral medication, even without symptoms or a flu test.
Not necessarily. Eligibility depends on factors such as age, symptom onset, test results, medical history, and medication safety. Our pharmacists will review these factors and recommend the most appropriate next steps.
Our services range from $40 to $75, depending on the evaluation and testing selected. Any prescribed medication is charged separately.
