Online prescriptions in Recess: what to expect

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 Recess, discuss the medication and your health with an Irish-registered GP, and, where the doctor considers it safe and appropriate, a prescription is issued.

Some medicines cannot be prescribed through DrCall at all: benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants are never prescribed.

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.

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