Submit your repeat prescriptions for uninterrupted supply of medicine

If you are a user of chronic medicine, it is very important that your medicine treatment should never be interrupted. It is essential to make sure that your chronic medicine prescriptions are always up-to-date. To prevent any interruption in your treatment, make sure that you ask your doctor for a new repeat prescription for your chronic medicine before your current prescription expires.

By law, a pharmacy requires a valid doctor's prescription before they can dispense medicine. You also can't have a repeat prescription for more than the number of repeats specified by your doctor on the prescription. The effective date on the prescription is also very important. A prescription cannot be repeated for more than six months.

To help you get the most from your treatment, your pharmacy will remind you to get a new prescription before your old one expires and GEMS will also send you a reminder SMS to renew before it expires.
