What is an eScript, and how do I use it?
A quick guide to electronic prescriptions in Australia, including tokens, repeats and which pharmacies accept them.
By the Bodymod team ·
An eScript is an electronic prescription. Instead of a paper script, your doctor sends you a token, which is a QR code that arrives by SMS or email. A pharmacist scans the token to see your prescription and dispense your medicine.
How do I fill an eScript?
Show the QR code on your phone at the pharmacy counter, or forward the SMS to the pharmacy. For an online pharmacy, you enter or upload the token on their website. Your eScript works at any pharmacy in Australia.
What happens to repeats?
If your prescription has repeats, the pharmacy sends you a new token for the next repeat after each fill. Keep that message safe, because you need it next time.
What if I lose the token?
Contact the doctor or service that prescribed it. They can resend the token to your phone. With Bodymod, send us a message from your account.
What is the Active Script List?
The Active Script List is an optional, secure list of all your current eScripts. If you sign up for it at a pharmacy, any pharmacist you give consent to can see your scripts without you needing to show each token. It is useful if you have several scripts.
Can I choose any pharmacy?
Yes. You can use your local pharmacy, a big chain, or an online pharmacy that delivers to your door. The choice is yours.
