Step-by-Step Guide to Getting a Repeat Medical Cannabis Prescription
1. Speak to Your Specialist Prescriber
Your first step is to reach out to the clinic where you initially obtained your prescription. You’ll need to:
- Confirm your details and last prescription date.
- Let them know when you’re likely to run out of medication.
Many clinics offer online portals or apps for requesting repeat prescriptions. If you’re unsure how to proceed, a quick phone call to the clinic will provide the clarity you need.
2. Plan Ahead
Medical cannabis prescriptions in the UK are valid for 28 days. To ensure you never run out of medication:
- Request your repeat prescription at least 10 days before your current supply runs out.
- Have your last prescription on hand to share the details with your prescriber.
If everything’s working well with your current medication, your specialist prescriber will likely approve a repeat prescription. However, you may need a follow-up appointment if:
- You’d like to adjust your dosage.
- You’re experiencing side effects.
- You’re considering a different product or form of medication.
3. Obtain Your Repeat Prescription
Once your specialist prescriber approves your request:
- They’ll send the prescription to Medcann Pharmacy directly or provide you with a copy to forward to us.
- If sending the prescription yourself, ensure we receive the original hard copy, as UK law requires this before we can dispense your medication.
You may need to pay a small fee for your repeat prescription—check with your clinic for details. This fee is separate from the cost of your medication.
4. Place Your Order with Medcann Pharmacy
Once we receive your prescription, we’ll:
- Send you a secure link to pay for your medication.
- Quickly process your order to ensure you have a steady supply of your prescribed product.
5. Set a Reminder
To stay on top of your health needs:
- Mark your calendar or set a reminder to request your next prescription 10 days before your medication runs out.
- Repeat this process for seamless ongoing care.
