The doctor will process it on weekdays before the end of the workday; the service price is 12 euros.
If you need a new prescription or an urgent prescription renewal, you should choose "Issuing a new prescription" (38 euros).
After receiving a new prescription through our service, you can pick up the medicine from any pharmacy in Finland.
Why should you contact us to get an updated or new prescription?
We update and write prescriptions in clear medical cases. The doctor can update your prescription immediately via remote consultation or until the end of the working day. The service price depends on the speed of application processing.
Most often, people contact us to update prescriptions for the treatment of chronic diseases and inflammations, as well as to renew prescriptions for contraceptive pills and erectile dysfunction medications.
The latter is an annoying and embarrassing but common ailment. With remote service, our customers can discuss intimate problems with the doctor in a confidential atmosphere and renew prescriptions without meeting the doctor face-to-face.
Writing or renewing a prescription requires the doctor to check the medications used via the Kanta service. By submitting a prescription request to us, you authorize the doctor to check the medication list from Kanta.
