Teladoc Health does not dispense prescription drugs. If the doctor prescribes medication, it is submitted electronically or by phone to the pharmacy of your choice.
Will I be contacted by Teladoc Health when my prescription is ready?
Teladoc Health will send you an email when your prescription is submitted. We suggest contacting your selected pharmacy to confirm when your prescription will be ready.
Can you prescribe antibiotics?
Yes, however, any prescription of antibiotics must be accurate and professional. We understand the negative consequences that may result from over-prescribing and thus our doctors will only write prescriptions in instances where such medication is necessary. If prescribed, the antibiotic chosen will be based on best clinical practice for your diagnosis. Requests for specific antibiotics cannot be guaranteed. See our Prescription Policy.
Can you prescribe GLP-1 medications for weight loss?
GLP-1 medications require a patient–care provider relationship with regular follow-up and monitoring to ensure that use is safe and effective. Some Teladoc Health clinicians can prescribe GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate and permitted by state regulations. You must be an established Primary360 member or a Condition Management member enrolled in condition care. GLP-1 medications (including refills) are not available through Teladoc Health General Medical or Nutrition.
