Please allow sufficient time to order your repeat medication so that you do not run out and it affords the Pharmacists more time to prepare your medication.

You can request your medication up to 7-10 days before you run out. In certain circumstances exceptions can be made.

Prescriptions will be sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy.
