Yes. If the condition is straight forward to diagnose or it is a repeat of medication previously prescribed. However there may be occasions when our doctors need to see you before prescribing some drugs. These include medication for: • Insomnia Anxiety • Pain relief Impotence Our doctors are able to prepare prescriptions for people to collect or receive by post. Where an actual prescription is not required by the Pharmacy the prescription can also be e-mailed or faxed.
