Repeat Prescription

Why does Ezimed only offer a “repeat prescriptions” service?

Medications have side effects. Patients may have severe reactions or allergic reactions to medications if taken for the first time. Therefore we do not offer prescriptions for new medications.

Patients applying for a repeat prescription will need to provide evidence that they are already on the medication. They will also be required to sms/MMS a copy of a previous prescription for the medication, or a copy of their doctors’ letter showing that they are already on the medication or had it before.

Doctors at Ezimed do not prescribe:

  • S4 / S8 drugs or narcotics due to concerns about dependence and/or abuse of these drugs.
  • Chemotherapeutic agents
  • medications requiring authority approval.

We are able to prescribe for chronic illnesses such as:

  • Hypertension
  • Heart disease
  • Emphysema / COAD
  • Gastrointestinal problems.

Prescriptions can either be sent to patients by mail, or can be emailed directly to a selected pharmacy and the patient notified once done. If you nominate a pharmacy, you will be required to provide a phone,fax number, email and address for the pharmacy.

Prescriptions may take anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on workload of the doctors and the need to verify your medications. Only available from 0900-1700hrs Mon to Friday.

PLEASE note that Ezimed has now started electronic prescriptions. These can be emailed to you directly (preferred now) or to your nominated pharmacy.

We will now require your medicare number and address. Please type this in the INDICATION box as well as why you take the medication.

We also now require you to inform us if the medication you are ordering is through PBS or private script.

You must SMS a scan / photo of your previous prescription for any medicines you want a repeat prescription for. If you have two scripts, place them side by side for the photo. You must SMS the image to Ph 0411 310 399.
