At Doctor Help, we are committed to providing safe and responsible healthcare
services
through telehealth. To ensure the well-being and safety of our patients, there are
certain
medications that we do not prescribe through online requests. This policy is in
place to
adhere to strict clinical and regulatory guidelines.
- Schedule 8 (S8) medications and other high-risk or restricted substances are not
prescribed via telehealth, as they require in-person assessment and monitoring.
- Medications with a high potential for misuse, dependency, or abuse are only
prescribed
in exceptional cases where clear clinical justification exists.
- Any medication will only be prescribed if the provider is confident it is the
most
appropriate treatment for the stated condition and aligns with best practice
standards.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines as
we
prioritize your health and safety in every consultation. If you have any questions
or
concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
