Chronic Care

Chronic Medication Without the Monthly Queue

Blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, asthma, HIV, epilepsy — chronic conditions need the same medicine every month and a doctor who reviews it. NuHealth keeps the script, the order and the reminders in one place.

Reviews, not rubber stamps

A repeat script is a clinical decision. Book a review with a doctor in person or by video; if it is appropriate, the prescription is issued digitally and lands in your records.

Order from your pharmacy

Send the script to a licensed pharmacy on NuHealth and choose delivery or collection. Your past orders make the next month a few taps.

Reminders and readings

Set dose reminders and log blood pressure, glucose and weight, so your doctor sees the trend at the next review instead of one reading on the day.

Questions

What people ask

Can I get a repeat prescription online?

You can book a video consultation with an HPCSA-registered doctor, who decides whether a repeat prescription is clinically appropriate. Some medicines and conditions need an in-person examination first.

Does NuHealth replace my medical aid’s chronic programme?

No. If your scheme requires registration on its chronic medicine programme or a designated service provider, that still applies — NuHealth helps you keep the script, the orders and the reminders organised.

Will I be reminded to take my medicine?

Yes. Medication reminders are part of the free plan, and you can log readings like blood pressure and glucose alongside them.
