Online prescriptions in Buncrana: what to expect

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 Buncrana rather than posting anything.

You cannot simply order a prescription online — a doctor has to assess you first. With DrCall you book a short video or phone consultation from Buncrana, discuss the medication and your health with an Irish-registered GP, and, where the doctor considers it safe and appropriate, a prescription is issued.

  • Doctor assessment first — no “order and pay” prescriptions
  • Sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose, where appropriate
  • Repeat medication reviewed by an Irish-registered GP
  • Benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants are not prescribed

Frequently asked questions

How much does an online GP consultation in Buncrana 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 Buncrana. 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 happens after I book an appointment?

Your request goes to our team, who confirm it or suggest another time. Your card is only authorised at booking and is charged once your GP confirms. You will get an email at each step.

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.

What if I need a doctor in person in Buncrana 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. Donegal, contact NoWDOC and local Donegal out-of-hours services — it is an appointment-only service with its own fees. Donegal is served by more than one out-of-hours service depending on where you live — use the HSE finder to find yours.

If your concern suits a video or phone consultation, you can book DrCall any day.

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.

How long does an online GP consultation take?
