Online prescriptions in Ballinafad: what to expect

You cannot simply order a prescription online — a doctor has to assess you first.

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 Ballinafad rather than posting anything.

DrCall is not intended for children under 3. For older children, a parent or guardian should make the booking and be with them during the consultation.
