Yes, if your clinician believes a prescription is appropriate for your condition, they can issue one during your telehealth consultation. Prescriptions are provided as eScripts, meaning they are sent digitally to your phone or email. You’re free to take this eScript to any pharmacy of your choice, or you can opt to have it processed and delivered through our partner pharmacy, Karma Pharma, for added convenience.
An eScript is a digital prescription issued by your healthcare provider. Rather than receiving a paper copy, you’ll get a unique QR code sent to your mobile or email. You can take this code to a participating pharmacy to have your medication dispensed, or forward it to an online pharmacy such as KarmaPharma for home delivery. This system helps simplify the process and reduces the risk of lost or damaged prescriptions.
Once your eScript has been issued, it can be sent directly to Karma Pharma, a trusted online pharmacy. Their team will verify the prescription, contact you for payment, and arrange for discreet delivery of your medication to your home. You don’t need to visit a physical pharmacy, and the entire process is managed online, making it fast, secure and convenient.
Yes, if your practitioner has ordered pathology tests, imaging or other investigations, the results will be sent directly to the clinic and shared with you via your secure patient portal or email. You can also book a follow-up consultation to go through the results in detail with your doctor, ensuring you fully understand what they mean for your health and treatment plan.
If you need help with your eScript, a referral to another healthcare provider, or a medical certificate for work or study, you can contact our support team through the platform. In many cases, assistance can be provided without a new consultation, but if a follow-up is needed, we’ll help you schedule one promptly.
