To ensure the best possible care and management of your health, pharmaceutical laws require that scripts be renewed 6 monthly. Patients with chronic conditions should come in for a consultation every six months (or sooner if instructed) to renew their prescriptions.

Why is this necessary?

1. Effective Disease Management: Chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemic, asthma, depression, anxiety etc change over time. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your condition closely, monitor organs potentially affected by the disease or medication and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. This helps in preventing complications and ensures your treatment remains effective.
2. Medication Safety: Medications for chronic conditions need to be adjusted based on how well they are working, side effects are developing, or other health changes affects medication safety and effectivity. We review your medication regimen, address any concerns, and make adjustments as needed to avoid potential risks and ensure optimal effectiveness.
3. Early Detection of Changes: Regular visits allow us to detect any new or emerging health issues early on. This proactive approach helps in managing your condition more effectively and can prevent more serious health problems from developing. The habit of an annual ‘healthy visit’ or a general medical examination (ask for a long appointment) is a very good investment in your health.
4. Personalized Care: Each individual’s response to medication and management strategies can vary. Regular consultations provide an opportunity to tailor your care to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate and personalized treatment.
5. Health Monitoring and Support: Beyond just renewing prescriptions, these visits provide an opportunity for us to offer additional support, education, and resources to help you manage your condition. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, discuss concerns, and receive advice on lifestyle changes that could improve your overall health.
