Patients in Ireland with stable, controlled diabetes can safely obtain repeat prescription refills online through NOVAGP.IE. Following a secure video or phone consultation with an Irish-registered GP, your prescription is sent directly to your chosen Irish pharmacy via Healthmail.

Who is eligible for an online diabetes prescription refill?

Online refills are suitable for patients who have already been diagnosed with diabetes by an in-person medical professional. Your blood sugar levels must be stable and regularly monitored.

To safely issue a refill, our GPs require information about your current treatment plan and recent blood test results. This service is available to residents across all Irish counties, including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford. It is not suitable for patients experiencing acute diabetic complications, unstable blood sugar fluctuations, or those who have not had their annual diabetic review.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an online diabetes refill without a previous diagnosis?

No, online refills are only for patients with an existing, stable diagnosis of diabetes in Ireland. New diagnoses require in-person clinical evaluations, physical examinations, and initial diagnostic blood tests. You must provide details of your previous GP or specialist monitoring and your recent blood test results.

How is my prescription sent to the pharmacy?

Your prescription is transmitted instantly using Healthmail, the secure clinical email network managed by the HSE for Irish healthcare providers. This means your nominated pharmacy in Dublin, Cork, or anywhere in Ireland receives the electronic prescription directly, and you can collect your medication without a paper copy.

Do I need a recent HbA1c blood test?

Yes, our GPs require evidence of a recent HbA1c blood test, usually completed within the last six months, to confirm your blood sugar is controlled. This ensures it is clinically safe to issue a refill. We can also provide a blood test request letter if you need one.

Can I refill insulin prescriptions online?

Yes, stable insulin regimes can be refilled online if you are under the active, regular care of an Irish GP or endocrinologist. You must provide details of your current dosage, monitoring routine, and recent blood test results during your secure video or phone consultation on NOVAGP.IE.

What are the fees for this service?

NOVAGP.IE charges a single, transparent fixed fee for a prescription consultation. We never charge extra for weekend, evening, or public holiday appointments. There are no hidden subscription fees, and your consultation records are hosted securely within the EU in compliance with Irish GDPR regulations.
