Which pharmacy will my online prescription go to?
The one you choose when you book — for example, a pharmacy near Waterford City. If a prescription is issued, it is sent electronically to that pharmacy.

No. Your doctor decides what is safe and appropriate after speaking to you. Benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, opioids and stimulants cannot be prescribed through DrCall.
