Repeat Prescriptions

 

We provide repeat prescriptions for a limited number of stable ongoing conditions according to our practice policy; however, you will need to have an appointment for your prescription if:
 
  • You are currently taking three or more medications
  • Your medication type or dose was changed at your last appointment
  • You have been into hospital since your last prescription
  • You have been under the care of a specialist who has changed your medication since your last review
  • You were not seen for your last prescription
  • You were scheduled to have a review for your next prescription during the consultation with the Doctor
  • You are on an antidepressant or similar.
  • You are requesting a medication which is classed as a controlled drug (for example, Ritalin) 
  • We have not previously prescribed the medication you are requesting 
  • Note: we do not provide repeat prescriptions for antibiotics.

**To ensure safe prescribing we are unable to provide phone or email scripts for some medications**

Patients who are registered with the MyIndici portal can request their prescriptions via the MyIndici app. You can also email our nurse at nurse@mtedenvillagedoctors.co.nz to arrange a repeat prescription. When requesting a repeat prescription via email, please provide details as follows: the name of the medication(s) required, any recent changes to the dose, the pharmacy you would like the script to be sent to, and an indication as to the urgency of your script request.
