If you need a medication refill, you're not alone — Americans fill billions of maintenance prescriptions each year for stable, well-managed conditions. CodyMD refills the most common categories of these medications by text. Below is the full list of conditions and specific drugs we routinely handle, plus what we don't refill and why.

Blood pressure medications

Most commonly refilled: lisinopril (ACE inhibitor), amlodipine (calcium channel blocker), losartan (ARB), hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic), metoprolol (beta blocker), atenolol, carvedilol. According to NIH MedlinePlus, these medications keep blood pressure within target range and missing doses can cause rebound hypertension within days.

Thyroid medication

Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Tirosint). The most prescribed thyroid hormone replacement. CodyMD can refill if you've been stable on your current dose. We recommend lab monitoring (TSH) every 6–12 months, which you'd arrange with your PCP or a lab service — we cannot order labs ourselves.

Birth control

Combined oral contraceptives (estrogen + progestin) and progestin-only pills ("mini-pill"). Common brands include Yaz, Sprintec, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Loestrin, Junel, and many generics. CodyMD does not prescribe IUDs, implants, or injectable contraceptives — those require an in-person visit.

Allergy medications

Cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), and prescription-strength options like montelukast (Singulair) for chronic allergic rhinitis or asthma management. Nasal sprays like fluticasone and mometasone are also commonly refilled.

Cholesterol medications (statins)

Atorvastatin (Lipitor), rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), pravastatin. These are workhorse drugs for cardiovascular risk reduction. CodyMD can refill if you're stable on your current dose; periodic lipid panels should be done through your PCP or a lab service.

Diabetes management

Metformin (Glucophage) is the most commonly refilled oral diabetes medication. CodyMD can also refill sulfonylureas (glipizide, glimepiride) and DPP-4 inhibitors. We do not currently refill insulin or GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Mounjaro), which generally require closer monitoring.

Acid reflux medications

Omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), esomeprazole (Nexium), famotidine (Pepcid). Proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers for GERD and related conditions.

What CodyMD does NOT refill

Controlled substances (opioids, benzodiazepines, ADHD stimulants, sleep medications), specialty medications requiring lab monitoring (lithium, warfarin), biologics and injectables (insulin, GLP-1s, immunomodulators), and any medication you've never been prescribed before. For the legal and clinical reasons behind these limits, see our explainer on what telehealth can and cannot refill.

How to check if your medication qualifies

Two quick checks: Is it a controlled substance? (Check the FDA's drug database or your prescription label — if it says "CII" through "CV," we can't refill.) Have you been stable on it? (If yes and it's not controlled, we can likely help.) Still unsure? Just text Cody and ask. The visit only proceeds if the doctor confirms it's appropriate.

How the refill process works

Text Cody, name the medication and dose, choose your pharmacy. A board-certified physician reviews your medical history, checks for interactions, and sends the prescription electronically. Most pharmacies fill within 30–60 minutes. The whole flow takes about an hour.
