Send us a repeat, or ask for a script we are already holding, and we will have it ready when you say you need it.
Use the form below for a repeat prescription, or for a prescription currently on hold with us. Tell us four things and we can get on with it:
If you need a brand new prescription rather than a repeat, that comes from your medical centre. Contact them first and we will dispense it once it reaches us.
You can also email prescriptions@birkdalepharmacy.co.nz, text 027 394 2007, or ring 09 483 6379.
Life gets busy and repeats are easy to forget until the box is empty. We can text you when your next repeat is due. Reply telling us what you need and we will process it ready for collection.
Ask us to set it up next time you are in.
Once your household has collected twenty prescription items in a year, running from 1 February to 31 January, you may be entitled to a subsidy card. After that you receive funded medicines without paying the standard co-payment for the rest of the year.
The twenty items can be combined across your family, including children under eighteen, which catches a lot of people out — separately none of you reach it, together you passed it months ago.
Speak to one of our pharmacists and we will check whether you qualify. We keep the record, so you do not need to have kept receipts.
Ring us and we will tell you honestly whether we can have it ready.
