Can a Doctor Post out a Prescription

tziggy

hey all
im in full time employment and cant make it to the GP during hours of practice ,and a day off is unlikely, is it possible to ask the doctor to post out the prescrition???

It depends on the drug, and unless you've been examined it's very unlikely.

There is a video doc service for some insurers. Maybe there is one that you can use on spec.

Mine won't. He needs to examine a patient first. If it's a repeat prescription they may well do, but only a call to the particular practice will tell you.

GP has examined me before and have been on my med for the last year , so it would be a renewal of the prescription , ill ask on monday either way

If you use the same pharmacy, ask them, I know in some cases our pharmacy does, but it's next door to the GP

Unless you have a medical card it would probably need to be paid for - ours charge €15 for a repeat prescription and we can then collect it whenever it suits us to call in. Could another family member collect it for you?

Mod- Locking this thread but before I do as its not a thread for AH and unsure where to put it. Anyone any ideas pm me.

Is there a caredoc type setup near your location. Kdoc is here in Kildare. You could go there on the weekend or at night to get your prescription. My doctor is €60 and the kdoc is €75 so not much difference really.
