Can I use my prescription internationally?

Patients who access our service through a pay-as-you-go subscription, an employee healthcare scheme or through an insurance provider can use the Doctor Care Anywhere platform internationally.

If you're in a country outside the EEA, we will provide advice on the best course of action. You will be able to collect your medication 'over-the-counter' in many countries, but we recommend that you seek local advice when seeking a trusted pharmacy.

Other countries are subject to strict regulatory rules and you may need a prescription from a local doctor before you can collect your medication. Our clinicians can recommend appropriate medication during your consultation, but we can't guarantee that you'll be able to source the medication without a local prescription.

We can provide an advisory service, but you may need to seek advice and prescription from a local doctor.
