How to get a repeat prescription

Repeat prescriptions are normally for patients with long-term conditions who receive regular treatment. Your doctor will decide who can have a repeat prescription. From time to time we will ask you to see your doctor to review your medication. We do this to monitor your illness and medication.

You can request a non-urgent repeat script by using your ManageMyHealth(MMH), phoning the practice on 04-8018935, leaving the relevant details on our script line or emailing prescriptions@capitalcare.org.nz.
