REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

• Repeat prescriptions may be ordered through the nurse - please choose "Nurse" telephone option or via email - nurse@otorohangamc.co.nz 

• You may also request repeat prescriptions directly to your GP through the Patient Portal  https://www.managemyhealth.co.nz/m/

• In general, it is desirable that the patient be seen every six months but this is at the discretion of the GP.

• Provide exact details and dose of your medication when asking for a repeat prescription.  You can do this by reading from the medication packaging or pharmacy printout over the phone, or bringing either of these into the medical centre.

• The GP will review the request and provide the prescription, and may leave a message as well.

• Please allow a 24 hour turnaround for the prescription to be created.

• A fee will apply for prescription requests.  Urgent prescription requests incur an extra charge.  There is a $2 fee for faxing of prescriptions.
