SCRIPTS & REFERRALS

Scripts & Referrals

Are you aware of the reasons why a doctor may need to see you for the renewal of prescriptions?

The doctor may need to:

  • Assess/review your condition to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
  • Consider other medications you may take (including ‘over the counter medications’) to determine potential negative interactions.
  • You may need to have your blood pressure checked.
  • Your medication may need to change or has become unavailable.
  • A more suitable medication has been released and the doctor feels this would benefit your health.
  • Renewal of authority prescriptions require (by law) a doctor to schedule a consultation with you.
  • For some repeat and routine prescriptions and referrals, your Doctor may be able to issue this via. a HotDoc Quick Consult.  For more information, please click here.
