Patient Information

Prescription Renewals

Plan medication review before your prescription runs out and allow time for assessment, monitoring, and follow-up.

Renewals are part of medical care

A prescription renewal may require review of symptoms, effectiveness, side effects, blood pressure, laboratory results, or other monitoring.

Request renewals before medication runs out. Same-day renewal cannot be guaranteed, and some medications require an in-person appointment.

Book ahead

Arrange review before the final doses are used, especially for medications requiring monitoring.

Complete monitoring

Laboratory tests, vital signs, or other follow-up may be required before renewal.

Maintain continuity

Ongoing medication management is best handled by the regular prescribing physician whenever possible.

Walk-in limitations

Walk-in care may not be suitable for ongoing medication management, controlled medications, complex psychiatric care, long-term pain treatment, or renewals requiring detailed records and monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my pharmacy fax a renewal request?

A pharmacy request does not replace medical assessment. The physician may still require an appointment.

Can every medication be renewed by phone?

No. The physician decides whether a phone review is clinically appropriate.

Is there a fee for a renewal without a visit?

Some uninsured prescription services may have a private fee. Confirm current policy with reception.
