It is important to see your regular doctor for repeat prescriptions wherever possible, to maintain good continuity of care.
When my patients require an ongoing script for a health issue, it is the perfect time to check that all aspects of the condition are being managed optimally.
For instance, that may involve checking your blood pressure, weight, blood, arranging tests, and referrals to specialists or allied health providers.
Often patients find it is a great opportunity to bring up health concerns they have been sitting on for a while!
