Which pharmacy will my online prescription go to?
The one you choose when you book — for example, a pharmacy near Arklow. If a prescription is issued, it is sent electronically to that pharmacy.
Can I get any medicine through an online prescription?
No. Your doctor decides what is safe and appropriate after speaking to you. Benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants cannot be prescribed through DrCall.
Can I claim an online GP visit on my health insurance?
Some private health insurers offer cashback or cover for GP visits, so check your policy. DrCall consultations are paid for privately by card.

DrCall is an online service, so we cannot send a doctor to your door. For urgent in-person care when surgeries are closed in Co.
