Please use this request form to order your repeat prescription. Forty-eight hours notice is required. Prescriptions will be sent to your chosen pharmacy.
Please also note that the Irish College of General Practitioners and the Medical Council advise GP’s to regularly review patients using repeat prescriptions.
Ordinarily, you should see the GP at a minimum of once per year to renew the prescription.
If the prescribing GP notices that you have not attended, your request may be declined. Alternatively, your prescription might be provided for a shorter period than expected and you may receive a message with your prescription advising that you make an appointment.
Please do not use the repeat prescribing service to order one-off items.
These requests will be declined. You should talk to the GP about such requirements. The repeat prescription service is to facilitate your supply of stable, agreed medications only.
Medication Reviews
All patients on repeat prescriptions need to have their medication reviewed every year. The purpose of the review is to check that you are still taking the most appropriate medication for your condition and that your condition is being effectively controlled.
The HSE have advice around medicines safety and the Know, Check, Ask campaign. Please ask the GP or Nurse to explain the purpose of each of your medicines. We will be happy to supply you with a list of your current repeat drugs and to add or remove items when you consult the GP or Nurse Practitioner.
New Medicines/Urgent Requests
If a doctor elsewhere has prescribed a new medicine for you and you need to have it issued on a medical card prescription, we will facilitate an urgent request if you telephone and give us the original prescription.
Many pharmacists can provide several days emergency supply, while you wait for us to prepare your new prescription
