Available if you're in: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota or Indiana. You must be located in one of these states when you submit. Somewhere else?
Start my refill →A refill of a medication you've been taking steadily is mostly a review of information: what you take, at what dose, for how long, what it's for, your other medications and conditions, and whether anything has changed. You can give that information in writing, on your own schedule, and a physician can review it carefully without the two of you being online at the same time.
That's how Dr. Refills works. There's no video visit to book and no waiting room. You answer the questions when it suits you (early morning, lunch break, late at night) and Dr. Nyotowidjojo reviews your answers himself.
An online refill is for continuing something that's working. It isn't the right tool for everything, and we'd rather tell you that up front:
For those, see your own doctor, a local clinic or urgent care. If you're wondering whether urgent care will help, read will urgent care refill my prescription?
If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, confusion, fainting, a seizure, or very high or very low blood sugar, call 911 or go to an emergency room.
Dr. Refills continues long-term medications you already take, at the dose you already take. That covers most everyday chronic medications, and all the eligible ones go on one request for one fee.
Not sure about yours? Submit it. Every request is read by the physician, and if he can't refill it you aren't charged. The full list is in the FAQ.
Iwan S. Nyotowidjojo, MD, board-certified in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine, reviews every request personally. He holds medical licenses in ten of our states and an out-of-state telehealth provider registration in Florida; each one can be checked on our licensure page. Patient reviews are on Trustpilot.
$59 for a 30-day supply or $79 for a 90-day supply, covering every eligible medication on your request, and nothing if it isn't approved. Most requests are reviewed the same day, 7 days a week. After approval and payment, your prescription is usually at your pharmacy within an hour.
We send the prescription electronically to the pharmacy you choose in your state, whether a chain or an independent. We're not a pharmacy and we don't ship medication. You pay for the medication at the pharmacy, with insurance or a discount card if you have one.

We can only treat patients who are physically located in California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and Indiana when they submit a request. That's a medical-licensing rule, not a preference, and we can't make exceptions. If you're somewhere else, these usually work:
Yes, for a medication you already take at a stable dose. You answer questions online, and a board-certified physician reviews them and decides whether it's safe to continue. There's no video call and nothing to schedule.
Any time. Requests are reviewed 7 days a week, and most are reviewed the same day.

Long-term medications you already take at the same dose, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid and antidepressant medications. Controlled substances, new medications and dose changes are not available.
If you have new or worsening symptoms, need a dose change or a new medication, are overdue for monitoring the physician considers necessary, or take a controlled substance. The physician will tell you if your request needs an in-person visit.
No. It's a bridge for when you can't get to your doctor in time. We encourage everyone to keep, or find, a primary care doctor.
