There are various reasons why you may be prompted to book a consultation for the requested medication. Below is a list of some of these reasons:
All new patients and new medication requests require a consultation with a doctor to ensure responsible prescribing under the Medical Board regulations.
If you are not currently taking the medication you will need to speak to an InstantScripts doctor.
Patients under 18 years of age are unable to request a prescription via our online prescriptions service. They can however request a Telehealth Consultation, for one of our doctors to discuss and issue a script if appropriate.
The medication may not be available in our medication catalogue for online prescriptions.
The medication may have some specific restrictions, like age.
Note: There is no extra charge for any prescriptions, certificates or referrals issued by the doctor following a consultation like this.
