The questions that matter
01
Can tablet colour identify my medicine?
No. Use the label, prescription or medical record.
02
Will a reading be required?
A recent reliable blood-pressure reading is often useful and may be necessary.

Two appointment routes01 02
Choose the route that matches your situation
Starting treatment or something has changed
Use the doctor consultation for a new problem, new symptoms, side effects or a dose change.
Stable established treatment
Use the repeat review only when the medicine and dose are unchanged and you can provide evidence.
During the consultation
A clinical decision, not an automatic prescription
The doctor checks whether the likely diagnosis, treatment history and safety information are clear enough for remote care. Examination, testing or a local referral is recommended whenever that is the safer next step.
After the consultation
A plan you can act on
You receive advice, follow-up timing and—only when clinically appropriate—an electronic prescription by email for dispensing at a pharmacy in Spain.
