Repeat Prescriptions

 

We provide repeat prescriptions without a review for a limited number of stable ongoing conditions according to our practice policy; however, it is likely you will need to have an appointment for your prescription if:
 
  • You are taking multiple 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 scheduled to have a review for your next prescription during the consultation with the Doctor
  • We have not previously prescribed the medication you are requesting 
  • Note: we do not provide repeat prescriptions for antibiotics.


From February 2026, some patients may be eligible for prescriptions lasting up to 12 months. This change does not include controlled drugs, such as ADHD stimulants, benzodiazepines, zopiclone, tramadol and codeine. Extended prescriptions are only available where safe and clinically appropriate. The length of your prescription will be decided on a case-by-case basis.  Your prescriber will always prioritise your health, wellbeing and safety. You can read more about the extended prescription changes here


Requesting Repeat Scripts

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 or leave a message with our receptionist (09 630 6981) to arrange a repeat prescription. When requesting a repeat prescription, 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.
