Need medicine ASAP? Order your medicine on the Discovery Health app!
When you or your child are sick, facing a drive out, or long pharmacy queues to get the medicine you need is probably the last thing you feel like. Not to worry! Just order your prescribed or over-the-counter medicine through your Discovery Health app and have it delivered to your home or collect it when it suits you.
With the Discovery Health app, you can easily upload your prescription, reorder your chronic medicine, or order over-the-counter medicine.
Ordering prescribed medicine
On the app's home page, click the Order medicine tab under Frequent actions, or in the Get care section under Services.
If a doctor prescribed medicine to you during a virtual consultation, the electronic prescription that they uploaded to the app will be visible here.
If you don't have an electronic prescription, you can choose to upload a script or continue without a script.
If you don't have an electronic prescription, you can choose to upload a script or continue without a script.
Once you have agreed, you will be redirected to Dis-Chem's page, where you can select which script to process.
You can also choose to use generic options for your prescribed medicine.
Ordering over-the-counter medicine
Follow the prompts in the Order medicine tab to order over-the-counter medicine.
The app will also give you the option to add over-the-counter medicine to a prescription order.
Deliver or collect?
Choose if you want your medicine to be delivered to your home during business hours, or click and collect from an after-hours pharmacy.
Track your order in real time so that you know when to expect your delivery.
How does payment work for medicine ordered through the app?
The medicine will be paid from your available day-to-day benefits. If no funds are available or you don't have day-to-day benefits, you will pay for the medicine yourself.
