Seeing your Tākuta/Doctor or Mātanga Tapuhi/Nurse Practitioner is the best way to obtain a repeat prescription of your long-term medication.

 

You can order a repeat prescription online or by calling our nurse phone line.

Seeing your registered Doctor or Nurse Practitioner to discuss and monitor your ongoing medical conditions is the best way to obtain a repeat prescription of your long term medications.

Providing repeat prescriptions without seeing you is at the discretion of your doctor.

NOTE: We do not routinely contact you after a script request. We will contact you if an appointment with your doctor is needed or if we require any further information to issue the prescription.

If we do not contact you within 72 hours (3 working day) the prescription will be ready. (There may be a delay over weekends and public holidays).

You need to see the doctor before the prescription is issued if:

  • you have not reviewed your use of this medication with your Doctor in the last 6 months OR

  • been in the hospital since you have last seen your doctor OR

  • your medication was altered at your last visit by your doctor OR

  • you have seen a specialist and medications were altered OR

  • you are requesting an antibiotic, sleeping pill or medication that is not classified as one of your long term medications
