Electronic prescriptions

An electronic prescription is a digital version of a paper prescription that is safe, convenient, and easy to use.

Your doctor sends it as a link via SMS or email, which you can take to your pharmacy or forward for home delivery. An optional Active Script List can help you manage multiple prescriptions without keeping track of individual tokens.

This information is also available as a PDF, Plain Language video, and Easy Read format.
