With DrCall you book a short video or phone consultation from Pontoon, discuss the medication and your health with an Irish-registered GP, and, where the doctor considers it safe and appropriate, a prescription is issued.

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 Pontoon 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.
