Repeat Prescriptions

Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.

Please allow up to 48 hours for us to arrange your prescription. You can order your repeat prescription by contacting our team by phone at 09 278 2578 to arrange a repeat prescription or log in to your Patient Portal. Once your prescription is processed, you will receive a text message.

When a prescription request is declined, we will contact you directly via phone or text message to discuss the next steps.

For urgent requests, we recommend calling our team directly. We suggest keeping enough supplies to avoid disruptions while we try our best to fulfill your request.
