Order a Prescription

To request a repeat prescription, please fill out the form below. Before doing so, please note the following:

• We can only fulfil prescription requests for patients who are actively attending our practice.
• Please allow 24 hours for us to process your request for a repeat prescription.
• All requests are reviewed by one of our doctors and then emailed to your nominated pharmacy.
• Medical card prescriptions are not subject to any fee.
• Private prescriptions incur a fee of €20 which is payable after we review your request and before we send it to your nominated pharmacy (we will email you a weblink so you can pay online).
• Before issuing a prescription, we will check when you last attended, if all investigations (such as blood tests) are up to date etc.
• If we feel you need an in-person review by a one of our doctors or nurses, we will issue a prescription for one month only and advise you to make an appointment before we can issue a further prescription.
• If we have recently reviewed you, and all investigations are up to date, we can issue a prescription for up to 6 months (prescription fees apply).
• To ensure your safety we will need to perform a medical review with you in person at least once per year if you are prescribed any regular medication.
• Many medications require monitoring of certain blood test parameters and vital signs. You will be informed if any such monitoring is overdue and a temporary prescription will then be issued to facilitate having these tests carried out. Upon satisfactory completion, a full prescription can be issued.
• There is no additional cost for temporary prescriptions. This facility exists to ensure safe and appropriate prescribing of medications.
• It is very important to tell us if you have stopped, started or changed any medications, e.g. if you had another doctor or hospital appointment.
• Hospital prescriptions should be forwarded to the surgery so that your medical record can be amended to reflect any change.
• Medical card holders registered with the practice seeking to have hospital prescriptions transcribed for their pharmacy should drop these to the surgery.
• In accordance with Irish Medical Council Guidelines, it is practice policy not to routinely prescribe Benzodiazepines, Opiate analgesia or Z-Class sleeping tablets.
