A simple, secure way to manage your medicines
Star Discount Chemist offers electronic prescriptions as a convenient and secure way to access your medication.
We’re committed to helping patients register for the Active Script List (ASL) and encourage you to speak with your prescriber about switching to electronic prescriptions.
How electronic prescriptions work
Electronic prescriptions make it easier to manage your medicines in just a few steps:
- After your consultation, your doctor will send you an SMS or email containing your electronic prescription.
- Visit your nearest Star Discount Chemist and present the electronic prescription to the pharmacy team.
- Collect and pay for your medication. If you have repeat prescriptions, you’ll receive a new SMS or email when your next supply is due.
It’s that simple.
