Frequently Asked Questions

Preparing for Medication Delivery

Medication Delivery Service is available for patients who have a valid SGH prescription within 1 year of original issue date and with balance uncollected medication. After seeing the doctor, your prescription will be electronically sent to and stored in the pharmacy system. Before your medication supply runs out, submit your refill order online through SingHealth Health Buddy app or Medicine Order online and ensure you or an authorized person (aged 18 and above) are present to receive the medication at the mutually agreed delivery date, time and location. Alternatively, you may opt to have your medication delivered to selected Guardian pharmacy stores or PILBOX locker stations. Please ensure you have sufficient supply of medications till planned delivery date; do submit your order at least 7 working days before your supply runs out.
If you have been prescribed with a new medication or if there has been a change in the dosing regimen of your existing medication, your doctor will advise if you need to collect the medications from pharmacy and start on the day of consult or if you are suitable to receive your medications using our Medication Delivery Service.
You may come down to SGH to self-collect the medications at the nearest pharmacy. Please view Collecting Your Medications for more details on the pharmacy locations and operating hours.
You may request for a repeat prescription through SingHealth Health Buddy app or online (https://www.sgh.com.sg/patient-care/visiting-specialist/Pages/Express-Refill-Service.aspx). Changes to prescriptions (add-on of medications not previously prescribed) are not allowed through this service. Your request will be reviewed by your doctor. If approved, your prescription will be electronically sent to and stored in the pharmacy system. You are strongly encouraged to use our Medication Delivery Service and have your medications delivered to your preferred location, at no extra charge. For urgent requests (you have less than 2 weeks’ supply of medication), please consult a doctor at your nearest polyclinic or GP clinic.
Scan the QR code on your medication label for information on your prescribed medications or visit https://www.singhealth.com.sg/patient-care/medicine. If you have been prescribed with a new medication or if there has been a change in the dosing regimen of your existing medication, our pharmacist will contact you and provide counselling over the telephone.
