Please read carefully before you order your prescription (Form at the bottom of this page)
Repeat prescriptions are available only for enrolled patients where your doctor has discussed with you that you can pick up a repeat prescription without a consultation. Your condition must be stable. Safety is important. It is a repeat prescription only if the Three Kings Accident and Medical Clinic have prescribed it before. Allow one full business day. The adult charge is same whether or not you pick it up.
There are certain instances where a repeat prescription will NOT be issued if:
- Your condition is not stable enough. eg High blood pressure, diabetes, psychiatric illnesses
- If the doctor asked you to return after the last visit for another check
- Your medication was changed at the last consult.
- You have been in hospital since you last consulted the doctor and your medications were altered, or you have been asked to visit the doctor.
- You had a repeat prescription last time.
- You are requesting antibiotics, antifungals, some pain medications, and sleeping pills
- The doctor feels that the medications may be misused or having compliance issues
- ADHD medications (Methylphenidate – Ritalin/Rubifen) are now prescribed 3 monthly and will need height and weight measurements done and discuss general health every 3-6 months.
Once you’ve requested a repeat prescription, this will be passed on to your usual doctor. If he/she is not available, this will be completed by another doctor. If the doctor is satisfied that it is appropriate to generate a repeat prescription then they may do so. If they feel that it is not appropriate or not safe, then they will request (by phone/text/email) that the patient be seen in the clinic for a review. Generating a repeat prescription is ultimately at the discretion of the doctor. We would expect you to respect this decision as this is done for your own safety.
Picking up Prescription
Repeat prescription will be available at the end of two business days. Repeat prescriptions are not done on weekends or public holidays. If you ring at midday Friday the repeat prescription will be ready after 6 pm Tuesday.
Signed prescriptions will be stored in the prescription pick up-box at the front desk.
Practice staff will verify that the person collecting the prescription is the patient, or an authorised representative, by checking the name, date of birth, and address if they are unknown to the receptionist.
Electronic prescriptions can be emailed directly to the pharmacy or faxing to the pharmacy.
