• When prescribing medications and engaging with patients, prescribers should include their name and Irish Medical Council professional registration number.

• Accept the judgement of the Eirdoc Online Physicians if our doctors conclude that receiving the desired medication without a face-to-face consultation is not in your best interests.
• Respect our physicians and staff. We will not accept any kind of abuse. We reserve the right to delete your patient record and refund any open orders in the case of such behaviour.

Order placement and cancellation

When you sign up for a service that includes the prescription of medications, we will conduct an evaluation of your clinical appropriateness for the medications prior to approving their supply. When you submit your request, you consent to us initiating this service and conducting an evaluation of your clinical appropriateness for medications, and as such, you will have no legal right to cancel your purchase. To cancel an order, contact Eirdoc Online Doctor Customer Services through a message in your patient record's doctor support section. All refunds will be handled by Eirdoc Online Doctor within three working days of the online doctor consultation but may take up to five working days to display on your bank or credit card account as an Eirdoc LTD transaction.

To get a refund for video consultations, cancellations must be submitted 24 hours prior to the appointment time.

Cancellations for health tests are permitted as long as the unused and unopened Home Test Kit is returned to us in its original packing box. €15 is withheld from the refund to cover the expense of destroying the kit, which cannot be reused, as well as our transportation charges.

Cancellations for web-form consultations (through our online questionnaires and in the absence of a scheduled video consultation) are permitted within thirty days of payment, as long as the original signed prescription is returned to us unused. A deduction of €10 is made from the return to offset some of our expenses.

When we get a prescription request from you, we will confirm receipt by email to the contact email address you provided. This email serves as confirmation of a request and is not binding on us until we prescribe your medication or begin providing therapeutic services, whichever happens first. Professional standards of conduct and legal constraints may impose limits on the quantity and frequency of any item we are entitled to prescribe to you, and as such, we are under no duty to prescribe amounts more than the applicable permissible maximum. We have the right to refuse any order for any reason.

Our professionals can make an informed choice about whether it is in the patient's best interest to get a medication only after they have gathered all pertinent information. Occasionally, this may require the doctor to get more information from the patient in addition to the information supplied in answer to an online questionnaire.
