What is InstyMeds?

InstyMeds is an automated system, much like a bank ATM, which allows patients to get their prescription medications at the Mankato Clinic and avoid a time consuming trip to the pharmacy. 

How do I know it’s safe?  Each medication undergoes a triple barcode verification check before being dispensed to ensure that only the correct medication is being dispensed.

How long does it take?  A medication is dispensed within as little as 90 seconds!

Are all medications available here?  InstyMeds contains medications commonly prescribed for:

Infections

Cold & Flu Muscle Aches

Ask your healthcare provider if your prescription medication is available from the InstyMeds dispenser.
