Repeat medication is usually reviewed against your history, so have your current medicines, doses and the date of your last review ready. Your doctor may decline to prescribe, or ask to see you in person, if it is not safe to do so remotely.

Choose your pharmacy when you book. Where a prescription is issued, it is sent electronically to that pharmacy, so you can collect it close to home in Athenry rather than posting anything.

How much does an online GP consultation in Athenry cost?

A DrCall online consultation starts from €35. That covers your consultation, including a sick cert, repeat prescription or referral where clinically appropriate. Your card is only authorised when you book and is charged once a GP confirms your appointment.

Which pharmacy will my online prescription go to?

The one you choose when you book — for example, a pharmacy near Athenry. 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.

What should I have ready for my online consultation?

Find a quiet, private place with a good signal, keep your phone charged, and have your medication names and any recent readings to hand. Your doctor will call you at the time you booked.

Is an online doctor consultation private and safe?

Yes. Consultations use secure, GDPR-compliant technology, our doctors follow Irish Medical Council guidelines, and the same doctor–patient confidentiality applies as in a face-to-face visit.

What if I need a doctor in person in Athenry tonight?

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.
