The questions that matter

Can I take another strength temporarily?

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.
