Online Prescriptions - New & Repeat Scripts in Minutes

eScripts, also known as electronic prescriptions or electronic prescriptions for controlled substances (EPCS), are electronic versions of traditional paper prescriptions. They are issued by healthcare providers and sent directly to a pharmacy, where a pharmacist can fill them.

eScripts offer several advantages over traditional paper prescriptions, including increased security and accuracy, faster turnaround times, and improved convenience for both healthcare providers and patients. To use eScripts, healthcare providers and pharmacies must have the appropriate technology and systems in place to support electronic prescribing. eScripts are becoming more common, but not all healthcare providers and pharmacies are currently able to use them.

Some common medications that can be prescribed using eScripts include:

• Antibiotics, such as amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin

• Pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen

• Antidepressants, such as fluoxetine and sertraline

• Blood pressure medications, such as lisinopril and amlodipine

• Asthma inhalers, such as albuterol and fluticasone

• Diabetes medications, such as insulin and metformin

• Cholesterol-lowering medications, such as atorvastatin and rosuvastatin

These are just a few examples of the many different medications that can be prescribed using eScripts. The specific medications that can be prescribed will depend on the individual healthcare provider and the needs of the patient. It is always best to discuss your specific medication needs with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment.

Instant scripts and eScripts are similar in that they both refer to electronic versions of traditional paper prescriptions.

The main difference between the two is that instant scripts are issued by a healthcare provider and sent directly to a pharmacy for filling, whereas eScripts are issued by a healthcare provider and sent directly to the patient for self-management.

Instant scripts offer the same benefits as eScripts, such as increased security and accuracy, faster turnaround times, and improved convenience for both healthcare providers and patients. However, instant scripts are typically only available for certain types of medications, such as over-the-counter drugs. In contrast, eScripts can prescribe any medication, including controlled substances.

Both instant scripts and eScripts require the appropriate technology and systems to be in place to support electronic prescribing.
