How to get a prescription when you’re on vacation

Tweet

Vacation should be calm, stress-free and fun.

So when you’re on vacation and you run out of medication, dealing with the stress and added expense of finding a local doctor to refill your prescription isn’t time well spent. But you have options. First, if you have a primary care doctor, give them a call and see if they’ll refill your medication. But most people don’t have a regular relationship with a primary care doctor and waiting days or hours for a doctor to call you back is stressful. Also, doctors need to be licensed in the state in which you’re traveling to be able to prescribe there. Chances are, if you’re out of state, your doctor won’t want to take their chances prescribing medication out of state. You could also find a local urgent care center, but this will set you back $350 or so. That’s expensive and annoying.

Getting a prescription should be easy

We’re the vacation saver doctors. Since we have doctors licensed in most every state in America, we can prescribe medications throughout the country. Also, our doctors start working with you within minutes, no matter if you’re in a cabin in the woods in Maine or partying hard on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. And once you experience how easy it is to get care from our doctors, you won’t be able to go back to the old way of doing things. It’s life-changing.

But! There’s only one stipulation. Sherpaa does not prescribe controlled substances like pain medications or ADHD medication or sleeping pills.

Other than that, here’s how it works:

Simply join Sherpaa, launch the app, create a case (“I need a refill”), snap a photo of your pill bottle if you have it, and your Sherpaa doctor will be in touch with you within minutes.

They’ll ask you a series of questions within Sherpaa’s app. From there, they’ll likely prescribe you your medication within the app, you’ll choose your pharmacy nearest to you, and pick up the medication in no time. No doctor office visits are required and you can communicate with our doctors when it’s convenient for you.

And because you’re a Sherpaa member, you can use Sherpaa for all of your medical needs, just as you would your own personal primary care doctor. It’s by far, the most economical and convenient way to get medical care from your own personal, trusted doctor who understands you and your needs.

Join Sherpaa today and get started.
