Requests & ongoing care

Repeat prescriptions online

An eligible regular medicine refill. The service is confirmed for the person receiving care after sign-in. You are only charged if a clinician approves it.

  • No appointment or video call
  • NZ clinician reviewed
  • Pay only if approved

What to expect

Talk to Quinn, our AI assistant. A NZ clinician reviews your history and decides your care.

  • If the medicine is eligible and the request is safe, a clinician decides the appropriate supply
  • If it cannot be repeated online, we explain why and direct you to the right care
  • If you choose a bridge, arrange the needed assessment before it runs out

Does a regular medicine refill fit?

Start an online assessment if…

  • This is a regular medicine at the same dose, for the same reason
  • You can confirm the medicine, strength and directions from its pharmacy label

Choose a different service if…

  • You need a new medicine, a dose change or a repeated bridge
  • The medicine is controlled, specialist-managed or an antibiotic
  • Your symptoms are new, changing or getting worse and need a fresh assessment

How regular medicine refills work

The refill service is selected for the person receiving care after sign-in. It is not for a new medicine or a dose change.

  • Your regular medicine may run out before your usual clinician can see you
  • You know the medicine name, dose and how you normally take it

How your online consultation works
