Prescriptions for Medications Lost or Advised by your Home Doctor
Have you just lost your medications or run out of them while traveling? With your medical problem you already consulted your regular home physician, who advised you to take certain medications now? But the pharmacies in Budapest or other towns in Hungary want a prescription from a local doctor? No worries… We can help you.
We can issue prescriptions for the medications you regularly take or your home Doctor recommended you should use now. We generally either prescribe one course of treatment, a 1 month supply or maximum the amount necessary to cover the time period you are away from home.
A Professional Consultation is required. You must personally discuss your exact needs and medical background with our doctor in our office, during a paid house call – home visit or through Teleconsultation (phone, Skype, WhatsApp, email).
This is a private medical service, and therefore a visit fee will be charged to you according to our price list. We do not accept and cannot prescribe any medication based on public health insurance like the Hungarian TAJ card or the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). We will give you a formal report with a proof of payment and you may try to claim it on your private medical or travel insurance as lost medications “en route” or a medical doctor visit.
Prices vary with the time, speed and convenience of the services you request. Prescriptions for Narcotics, Sedatives, Sleeping Pills, and Psycho-stimulants are under strict regulations, consequently a +60 EUR surcharge will be applied to each of them.
The pharmacy price of the medications is not included in our professional consultation fees.
The cheapest option is 80 EUR or equivalent HUF in cash, in our office during workdays 10:00 – 16:00 CET. Appointments must be scheduled in advance. Please do not show up unexpected, as you may find no doctor there. We can give the discount price office appointments mostly about 1-2 hours ahead. So contact us only if you are
– ready to come to our office anytime within 2 hours, or
– actually in your hotel (apartment) and can wait there for a house call anytime within 1-3 hours, or
– prepared to participate in a Teleconsultation within 1-3 hours (proper phone and internet connection).
When you meet or get engaged in a Teleconsultation with our Doctor:
– you must show or send us a copy of your own, original, valid picture ID (passport, national ID card, Driver License).
– you must sign a paper form or fill and respond to our email testimony in English. You will have to state the exact name with the dosage of the medications you take and need, along with the name and location (town, country) of the ordering Physician at home.
– you may show the original boxes or prescriptions from your home Doctor, as it helps a great deal.
We advise, that you check the availability of your desired medication in the local pharmacies in advance before contacting us. We cannot guarantee availability of any certain brands or even generics.
Please read our General Information before contacting us.
After you paid for our services, as a courtesy, our Doctors may help you to locate the pharmacy where the requested and prescribed medications are actually available. However, we will not search for your desired drug based solely on your request without the payment of our professional consultation fees.
If your desired drug is not readily available in a close-by pharmacy, then as part of a paid consultation, our Doctors may offer you reasonable alternative treatments, that you can certainly get access to according to your circumstances, such as given time frame and location.
