Can I modify or cancel my prescription after placing the order?

No, once your prescription has been placed through the DrHouse app, it is not possible to modify or cancel the order. This is due to the immediate processing and quick turnaround required for our on-demand prescription delivery, which ensures your medication is delivered within 1 hour.

Why Can’t I Modify or Cancel My Prescription?

  • Immediate Processing: After your virtual doctor’s visit, prescriptions are processed and sent to our partner pharmacies right away to ensure fast delivery. This automated system doesn’t allow time for changes or cancellations once the order is confirmed.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Prescription medications are subject to strict healthcare and pharmacy regulations, which prohibit changes after a prescription has been issued and processed.
  • Delivery Workflow: Once the prescription is assigned to a courier, it’s scheduled for 1-hour delivery. Any changes would disrupt this process and compromise timely delivery.

What Happens If I Don’t Want the Medication Anymore?

  • If you refuse or miss the delivery, the medication will be returned and destroyed for safety reasons.
  • Refunds are not available for canceled, refused, or missed deliveries due to regulatory policies that prevent the return or reuse of dispensed medications.

How to Avoid Issues with Your Prescription:

  • Review Your Information Carefully: Before completing your visit, double-check the medication details, delivery address, and your chosen delivery method.
  • Discuss Concerns with Your Doctor: If you have any doubts about your prescription, address them during your virtual doctor’s visit before the prescription is finalized.
  • Keep your photo ID ready for verification by the courier.
