How old do you have to be to pick up a prescription in New Jersey, & can you be under that age if it is yours?

Question

What is the real age to legally pick up prescription meds, and can you be under that age to pick them up if they are yours? Also, does that apply to birth control methods in New Jersey?

Thanks

Answer 1

Minors are sometimes ask their age... not always. In New Jersey, under 18 is considered a minor and parental consent can be requested.

Go to a busy store like a Wal Mart pharmacy where they probably won't care.

Answer 2

In most cases, age doesn't matter. You can't pick up a prescription that is not yours unless you are the parent or guardian of the person it is for. sometimes this is relaxed for immediate family.
