⛔ Important — controlled drug requests

Requests for opioids (e.g. codeine, tramadol, morphine, oxycodone), benzodiazepines (e.g. diazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam), z-drugs (e.g. zopiclone, zolpidem), or stimulants (e.g. methylphenidate) will only be processed via this form if they are already on an agreed repeat prescription that has been pre-arranged with your GP and approved for monthly prescribing. If you are not sure whether this applies to you, or if you are requesting a controlled drug for the first time, please call us on (01) 840 5940 to arrange a consultation.

Important conditions

When a prescription may be declined

Requests may be declined if a GP consultation is deemed necessary for the safety of your treatment. The practice will contact you if this applies. Decisions on prescribing are at the clinical discretion of your GP.

Chronic Disease Management (CDM) patients

Patients enrolled in the CDM programme require a nurse review every 6 months before repeat prescriptions are issued for their chronic condition medication. Prevention Programme (PP) patients require an annual review. Please request your prescription one week after your review appointment.

Contraception scheme

Patients on the free contraception scheme must book a review appointment before a prescription can be issued. Please book this online through the Pippo app in advance.

Fees

Repeat prescriptions for private patients are charged at €25. Prescriptions for medical card holders, An Post scheme members, and Garda scheme members are issued at no charge (Garda scheme form required).
