Emergencies Happen at the Worst Times
It's midnight. You just got discharged from Elmhurst Hospital ER with prescriptions for antibiotics and pain meds. Every pharmacy in Queens is closed. CVS website says "24 hours" but when you call? Voicemail. Walgreens? Also closed. Your kid's sick NOW, not tomorrow morning at 9 AM when pharmacies reopen.
AV Chemist runs actual 24/7 emergency prescription service in Queens. Call us at 2 AM. We'll answer. We'll fill your urgent meds. We'll deliver them to your door. That's what emergency pharmacy service should be.

- • Limited 24-hour locations: Very few in Queens actually operate 24/7
- • Long waits even in emergencies: 1-2+ hour waits common
- • No delivery after hours: Must drive to store yourself
- • "Come back tomorrow": Stock issues at night aren't resolved urgently
- • No pharmacist counseling: Too busy to explain emergency medications

Real Emergency Prescription Stories
ER Discharge at Midnight - Antibiotics Needed
"I had appendicitis and was discharged from Elmhurst Hospital at 11:45 PM with prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medication. CVS said 'pharmacy is closed, come back tomorrow.' I couldn't wait, risk of infection. Called AV Chemist at midnight, they filled both prescriptions and delivered to my Corona apartment by 1:20 AM. This service literally prevented a medical emergency."
– James T., Corona
Child's High Fever at 2 AM
"My 3-year-old daughter had a 105° fever at 2 AM on Saturday. Urgent care saw us at 3 AM and prescribed antibiotics. Every pharmacy was closed. I was terrified. Found AV Chemist's emergency line, called at 3:30 AM, and they delivered to our Forest Hills apartment by 4:45 AM. My daughter started antibiotics 12 hours earlier than if we'd waited for morning. As a parent, this service is priceless."
– Rachel K., Forest Hills
Ran Out of Heart Medication on Sunday
"I take blood pressure and heart medication daily. Realized Sunday night I was out and hadn't refilled. Missing doses could cause heart attack. Walgreens closed, CVS closed. Panicked. Called AV Chemist at 9 PM Sunday, they processed emergency refill and delivered to my Rego Park home by 10:15 PM. Took my medication on schedule. This service saved my life."
– Robert M., Rego Park
