Can I Get More Than One Prescription at a Time?

How it Works

During a telehealth consultation with an Australian-registered GP at Our Sage, you can discuss multiple health concerns and request multiple prescriptions, provided they are clinically appropriate. Whether you need a repeat prescription for a regular medication or different prescriptions for separate conditions, our telehealth doctors can assess your needs and prescribe accordingly.

What Medications Can Be Prescribed?

Our Sage Telehealth doctors can prescribe a wide range of medications, including:

Chronic condition medications (e.g., for asthma, diabetes, or hypertension)

Short-term prescriptions (e.g., for infections or pain relief)

Mental health medications(e.g., antidepressants or anxiety medication)

Some medications, such as strong painkillers or controlled substances, may require an in-person consultation, but for many common medications, you can easily obtain them through a virtual consultation.

Efficiency and Convenience

The flexibility of telehealth means that if you need multiple prescriptions, there’s no need to book separate appointments. This makes it easier for patients who manage chronic conditions or those who need a few medications at once. Your prescriptions can be sent directly to your preferred pharmacy, making the process seamless.

Follow-Up Prescriptions

If your doctor needs to review your condition or medication dosage, they may provide a shorter prescription and request a follow-up consultation. This ensures safe and effective treatment while still offering the convenience of telehealth.

Can I Get Multiple Prescriptions In-Person?

If you prefer to see a doctor in person or need an in-person consultation for your prescriptions, you can visit one of our Our Medical clinics. Like telehealth, in-person consultations allow you to discuss multiple health concerns and receive multiple prescriptions in a single appointment.

Benefits of In-Person Consultations

At Our Medical clinics, patients have access to bulk-billed GP consultations, so there’s no cost for your appointment. During your visit, you can:

• Discuss any ongoing health concerns

• Address multiple conditions requiring different medications

• Receive advice on managing your prescriptions long-term
