Can I get a prescription?
Teladoc does not guarantee prescriptions. It is up to the doctor to recommend the best treatment. Teladoc doctors do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by the DEA, non-therapeutic and/or certain other drugs which may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. These include, but are not limited to, antidepressant drugs such as Cymbalta, Prozac and Zoloft. Based on treatment protocols, doctors may not prescribe an antibiotic for viral illnesses such as most colds, sore throats, coughs, sinus infections and the flu. Doctors may suggest alternative treatment options such as a prescription for symptom relief or over-the-counter medication. Also, non-therapeutic drugs such as Viagra and Cialis are not prescribed by Teladoc.
How are prescriptions sent to the pharmacy?
Teladoc does not dispense prescription drugs. If the doctor prescribes medication, it is submitted electronically or by phone to your pharmacy.
Is my electronic health record kept private?
Teladoc employs robust encryption methods to protect your personal information. You determine who can see the information in your record.
Can I call Teladoc outside of the United States?

Roy R., CO
“I love Teladoc! I used it when I had poison ivy. I was only sorry I hadn’t used it days earlier. It was easy, quick and very convenient. I called Teladoc at 7:30 p.m. and had my prescription ready at CVS at 9:00 p.m. Then, I used my discount card for my prescription for steroids and they were half price.”

Yolanda G., CA
“I was at work not feeling well but didn’t want to leave work. So I decided to call Teladoc. It was a wonderful experience! The doctor called me back within 30 minutes. I spoke with him for about 15 minutes and he wrote me a prescription that I was able to pick up on my way home from work at my pharmacy! It was very convenient. Teladoc saved me money and I didn’t have to miss time from work.”
Ann
“One night my son had an upset stomach. I considered taking him to the emergency room but called Teladoc instead. The doctor suggested an over the counter medication and plenty of fluids. I’m thankful that I avoided the time and expense of going to the ER.”
