Sarah Hyland slammed CVS online after it failed to fulfill her crucial medication on time.

The Modern Family star, who received a kidney transplant in 2012, publicly criticized the pharmacy chain after it closed without fulfilling her prescription to treat an infection.

“Hey @cvspharmacy when you tell a kidney transplant recipient that her medication will be ready before you close and that you will notify her when it’s ready to be picked up. Fโ€”ING DO IT BEFORE YOU CLOSE. PEOPLE LIKE ME CANT AFFORD TO GO WITHOUT MEDICATION,” she ranted in a tweet Tuesday.

The actress garnished the heated message with a middle finger emoji.

“Also @cvspharmacy maybe put the CORRECT time you close on the internet. Just a suggestion from a long time customer who needs medication for the rest of her life,” she shared in a follow-up tweet alongside the posted hours for a Studio City, California location.

The pharmacy responded to the actress on Tuesday, writing, “Your health is important to us, Sarah & we understand how upsetting this experience must have been. We’d like to follow up w/ you offline to learn more & do whatever we can to improve your experience in the future. Can you pls DM us at your earliest convenience?”

After a heated Hyland questioned whether CVS’ reply was “just a copy/ paste situation,” she said she messages all the details to the online associate. Still, she was far from finished venting about the experience.

She posted a video to her Twitter account following the drama, explaining that she needed an antibiotic from the pharmacy to treat an ongoing infection.

“I had already been about two and a half days with infection,” she told followers. Without medication, the infection could turn into a condition that would send her kidney into rejection and would require dialysis.

She said her transplant team at Cedars-Sinai called multiple times to request the antibiotic at the pharmacy, but by 7 p.m., CVS “said they never go it โ€” lies.”

Hyland called the story at 7:30, she said, and the pharmacy told her they received the prescription and “assured me that they would call me before they closed.”

In a second video, the actress continued her rant, saying, “”I would also like to say for everyone else who has dealt with CVS problems, I feel your pain. Thank you so much for reaching out and telling me yours so that I don’t feel like a crazy person. You guys are sweet and awesome. I’m also just in a bad mood because I’m in a lot of pain. So call me a bโ€”-, I really don’t fโ€”ing care.”
