Are there any medications which Teladoc doctors can’t prescribe?
Some medications are not suitable for prescription via a online clinical service. These include controlled drugs like diazepam, strong painkillers, sleeping pills and drugs that require close monitoring through a regular GP.
As we don’t have access to your NHS GP notes and history, we need to be careful about what we prescribe. In some circumstances, we may need to ask you for additional information before we can issue a prescription. Our GPs will only prescribe medication, including antibiotics, if they can do so safely.
