ACH Outpatient Pharmacy

For the convenience of our patients and families, Arkansas Children's Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy can fill your child's medication after a clinic visit or hospital stay. The ACH Outpatient Pharmacy can save you an extra trip to an outside pharmacy while you return home from the hospital or clinic.

Our pharmacy team members are trained on children's medications. Children react differently to medications than adults, and our team is experienced with pediatric doses and drug interactions. Ask your nurse about sending your child's prescription to the ACH Outpatient Pharmacy for convenient pickup.

Services include:

• Filling and refilling medications
• Patient and parent counseling on medications
• Specialty prescriptions such as compounding oral medications
• Providing prescriptions to uninsured patients with no upfront charge to the patient (families would need to speak to a financial counselor for arrangements)

Contact the ACH Outpatient Pharmacy by calling 501-364-1223. 

After Your Child’s Hospital Stay

The outpatient pharmacy can fill your child's discharge or take-home medication quickly and conveniently. If your child is staying in the hospital, the outpatient pharmacy may be able to deliver directly to their bedside. Please talk to your nurse or call the pharmacy to learn more. The outpatient pharmacy can also compound oral medications as needed for your child.
