Getting your online prescription and repeat prescriptions are easy through Bettr. Controlled drugs that require printing and signing by a doctor are not available; this includes strong painkillers, sedatives, methylphenidate and duromine.
Most common medications can be prescribed through an online consultation. This includes both existing and ongoing prescriptions, plus medications that might be prescribed to you during your appointment with your Bettr clinician.
How to pick up your prescription
When the clinician prescribes you medication during your consultation through Bettr, they will send the prescription directly to the pharmacy of your choice for you to pick up from.
Online prescription NZ
Most common medications can be prescribed on the spot during your Bettr appointment and then sent to the pharmacy of your choosing for you to pick up when it's convenient. Occasionally, for some medications, we'll need you to come in to see us in a clinic before we can finalise the prescription, and controlled drugs cannot be prescribed through Bettr.
Repeat Prescriptions NZ
If you're enrolled with us as a patient, and have already been prescribed a medication previously, you can easily get a 'repeat' prescribed through Bettr with minimum fuss.
Scripts are available to both enrolled and new patients but please note that in some circumstances - including any new patient getting a new prescription for the first time - the clinician may request you to see a GP in person first, depending on the medication. Standard medication charges apply.
