Will I be contacted by OnlyTeleMed when my prescription is ready?

OnlyTeleMed doctors will notify you when your prescription is submitted. We suggest contacting your selected pharmacy to confirm when your prescription will be ready.

Can you prescribe antibiotics?

Yes, however, any prescription of antibiotics must be accurate and professional. We understand the negative consequences that may result from over-prescribing, and thus our doctors will only write prescriptions in instances where such medication is absolutely necessary.

_{Antibiotics aren’t always the right treatment. Antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses like colds, flu, most sore throats, bronchitis, and many sinus and ear infections. Instead, the doctor may provide a treatment plan that includes symptom relief for viral infections. Learn more on the CDC website}
