Frequently asked questions
- Can I get a prescription online in Nigeria?
- Yes. A verified doctor on Lonia can issue a digitally signed prescription during or after your video consultation, where it is clinically appropriate. You can then order the medication for delivery.
- Is an online prescription valid?
- Yes — a Lonia prescription is only valid once it is digitally signed by the issuing doctor, which makes it verifiable and tied to your consultation record.
- Will the doctor prescribe anything I ask for?
- No. Doctors prescribe based on their professional clinical judgement after assessing you. Controlled and prescription-only medicines require a valid prescription and may not be appropriate in every case.
- Can I get a repeat prescription for a long-term condition?
- Often yes. For ongoing conditions like hypertension or diabetes, a doctor can review your situation online and issue repeat prescriptions with appropriate follow-up.
