3.2 Registration
Registration for membership can be done on our website or in store.
Initial ordering of prescription medications requires a consultation with one of our pharmacists who will prior to the supply of the medicinal product concerned review the prescription having regard to the pharmaceutical and therapeutic appropriateness of the medicine therapy for you.
Our pharmacists will provide a review which may include a screening for any potential therapy problems which may arise out of the use of any medicinal product that has been prescribed for you.
For all prescription orders you will need to provide us with your original prescription either by post or by having your doctor send an electronic prescription to us via Healthmail at healthwave.dundrum@healthmail.ie
We will continue to hold your original prescription and we will allow you purchase permitted repeats of that prescription by telephone provided the prescribed medicinal product is not a restricted one where we are not permitted to fill that prescription without a prior consultation which we will have with you by telephone or in person prior to the refill being send to you by post and/or courier.
If the prescription is for a child (under 18) we can only accept registration by that child’s parent or guardian. We may ask for proof of identity for both during the registration process.
Only residents of the Republic of Ireland can register for our prescription service.
