Prescriptions

For Prescription Repeats:

• It is not always necessary for you to make an appointment to have a prescription renewed.
• If you need repeats, ask your pharmacy to fax a prescription renewal request to your doctor 7-10 days before you are due to run out.
• It is very important that you don’t wait until the last minute to do this as your doctor requires at least 48 to 72 business hours for all prescription repeats to be sent to your pharmacy.
• Did you know that your pharmacy may charge you for a prescription renewal when your doctor is away? Renew your prescription in advance!
• Once your doctor receives this request, if he or she needs to see you before repeating the prescription, one of our office staff will contact you to arrange an appointment.
