Unable To Renew Prescription,can Records Be Sent Through Fax Or Should Meet Doctor Personally.Suggestion?
Hello, quick question
I have been using angrogel gel packs for the past three years and recently my primary physician has become difficult to work with, in that he is refusing to renew my perscription unless I go see him every six months. Is there any way I can fax my medical records and blood work to a remote endocrinologist to review my records and to order me a new perscription? Is that possible or does a doctor have to physically see me to order the medication?
Ideally, always it is a good idea to meet physically with the doctor at least once in six month, as your physician is asking for, unless you have a very strong reason. Or else, you can harm yourself, sometimes
You can very well send the reports after scanning and post it to health care magic for getting an opinion from an endocrinologist
Schedule x drugs need prescription. Over the counter drugs do not need prescription. My guess that if you need some hormonal preperations, you may get without prescription
