At Zen Medical, we aim to make accessing alternative medicines as straightforward as possible. One of the ways we achieve this is through the electronic transfer of prescriptions. This efficient solution ensures you can access your medications quickly, whether transferring from a local clinic, dispensary, or even from another state in Australia.
1. What is an Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions?
The electronic transfer of prescriptions is a secure and streamlined method that enables doctors to send prescriptions directly to your chosen dispensary electronically. This process eliminates the need for paper scripts, reduces errors, and speeds up the entire process, ensuring you can access your plant therapies without delay.

- If appropriate, the doctor will issue an e-script.
- The script is sent directly to the dispensary, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.
3. How Long Do Scripts Last?
Scripts for alternative medicines typically remain valid for several months, though this can vary based on the medication and your doctor’s recommendations. Always confirm the validity period with your practitioner to ensure uninterrupted access to your treatment.
