*About Onmedi's "regular prescription plan"
In Onmedi's self-pay care, the doctor prescribes a supply of medication for a set period after consulting with the patient. Because a large supply can be hard to pay for all at once, the clinic keeps the prescribed medication, and when you pay before your current supply runs out, we send you the amount you paid for.
For this reason, changing the type of medication or increasing the dose is not part of the "regular prescription plan" and always requires a consultation with the doctor.
