Look up a medication

Search by brand or generic name to see what a medication treats, how it's taken, and what to watch for.

Identify a pill

Found a loose tablet and not sure what it is? You have two options, and the first one is better.

Bring it to the counter

A pharmacist will identify it while you wait — no appointment, no charge. We can check markings against products we dispense, tell you what it's for, and flag anything that shouldn't be mixed with what you already take. Loose pills, unlabeled bottles, a container from a relative's house: we've seen it all.

Look it up yourself

If you'd rather check first, Drugs.com keeps a free identifier you can search by the imprint, shape and color stamped on the tablet.

This is an outside site, not run by Anthony's Pharmacy.

Never take a pill you can't positively identify. Different manufacturers reuse the same markings, and anything unlabeled, compounded, repackaged or from outside the U.S. may not appear in any database. When it matters — and with medication it usually does — ask a pharmacist rather than trusting a picture.

These are the same government and clinical references our pharmacists use. Each one is free to search, written for patients, and kept current.

Common questions

How do I refill a prescription?

Refill online through our patient portal, call us at (401) 900-1788, or stop by the counter. If you're out of refills we'll contact your prescriber for you.

Can you transfer my prescriptions from another pharmacy?

Yes. Give us the name of your current pharmacy and the medications you'd like moved, and we handle the rest — you don't need to call them yourself.

Do you deliver?

We offer free prescription delivery to patients in Johnston & surrounding area. See Home Delivery or call us to set it up.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept most major prescription plans, including Medicare Part D and RI Medicaid plans. Call us with your card handy and we'll confirm your specific plan before you come in.

Can I get my medications in a pill pack instead of bottles?

Yes — ask us about multi-dose packaging, which sorts every dose by day and time, and medication synchronization, which lines your refills up to one pickup date.

Can I ask a pharmacist a question without an appointment?

Always. Walk in or call (401) 900-1788 — there's no charge to ask, and our pharmacists speak English and Spanish.
