Med Room

We maintain a medication room that provides most commonly used prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. We can obtain virtually all other prescription medications in one day through a local pharmacy, eliminating the need for students to travel off campus to get prescriptions filled. The Hammond Health Center does not participate with prescription plans as we are a medication room, not a pharmacy.

If you have questions for the medication room, you can call 607-274-7096 between 9am-4pm.

The local pharmacy we use is Kinney Drugs. They are located at 513 North Cayuga Street, Ithaca, NY 14850, phone (607) 272-8333 and fax (607) 272-8366. If you have private insurance that has a prescription plan, you may want to contact the pharmacy to register your insurance information. Kinney delivers to campus twice daily Monday-Friday. Once your insurance information is accepted and on file at the pharmacy, medication can be ordered and delivered to the Health Center for you. Charges from Kinney Drugs can be applied directly to your Bursar's account if you would like.

Medication Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and 6pm-10pm.  Saturday-Sunday 10am-6pm.

The Med Room also has available Over the Counter Medications (OTCs). Some of the items available include acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), throat lozenges, cough syrup, vitamin C, eye drops, antibiotic ointment, condoms (6 for $1!), pregnancy tests, hot/cold packs and thermometers. We also sell various OTC medications for treatment of diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, allergic reactions, warts, athlete's foot, and vaginal yeast infections.  Not sure what you need? Just ask us! OTC meds can be purchased anytime that the Health Center is open.
