What are prescription medications?

Prescription medications are drugs that require a medical provider’s permission. If you have a chronic illness, like high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, seizures and many others, you might need one (or several) prescription drugs to prevent complications and improve your health.

What are prescription refills?

When you get a prescription for a new medication, Dustin also determines how many refills you get. Certain drugs, like antibiotics, require only one course of treatment, so you won’t necessarily need refills. But if you have a chronic condition, you might need to take medication for the rest of your life.

By partnering with Dustin at ViteleDoc, you can make sure you have access to medication, exactly when you need it, even if you’re about to run out.

When can I request prescription refills?

At Viteledoc, Dustin loves accommodating patients and provides same-day prescription refills whenever possible.

 You can request prescription refills if you:

• Go on a trip and forget your medications
• Run out of medications on the weekend
• Lose your medications 
• Accidentally spill or throw away your medications

Dustin can refill most common prescription medications aside from controlled substances. However, a federal law, called the Ryan Haight Act, requires medical providers to meet with patients in-person before prescribing controlled substances online.

What are some common drugs that require prescription refills?

At ViteleDoc, Dustin prescribes common prescription medications, such as:

• Hypertensives (high-blood pressure medicine)
• Antidepressants
• Thyroid agents (for the treatment of thyroid disease)
• Prescription analgesics (non-opioid pain medication)
• Antidiabetics (medications that help control blood sugar)
• Antibiotics
• Antiepileptics (to control seizures)
• Antihistamines (to help manage allergies)
• Beta blockers (to manage abnormal heart rhythms or other cardiovascular problems) 

What happens during a prescription refill consultation?

At ViteleDoc, Dustin conducts all appointments virtually. Before refilling your prescription, he reviews your medical records and completes a virtual exam. 

After gathering the necessary information, Dustin writes you an e-prescription. This is sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice, no matter where you are. You can then visit the pharmacy and they can fill it for you on the spot. 

Dustin provides prescription refill consultations on weekdays, nights, and weekends, ensuring patients have access to their medication exactly when they need it.
