GoodRX and HeyDoctor

[Travis]

Has anyone used GoodRX's HeyDoctor to get their Cialis or Sildenafil prescriptions? I was wondering what their telemed appointment is like. Do you request the prescriptions and they ask you a few questions to qualify you (condition, health, etc)?

Are they willing to write two prescriptions? Cialis and Sildenafil? I find a combination of Cialis and Sildenafil works best for me. Do they email you the prescriptions or do they send them to a pharmacy of your choice? Will they write them for a high dosage so you can split them? How many tablets do they prescribe? 90?

Sorry for all the question. I've seen a lot of comments on GoodRX, but nothing on using their HeyDoctor service. GoodRX/HeyDoctor seems like a better option than overseas pharmacies if it's fairly straightforward to receive the prescriptions.

I use HeyDoctor and GoodRX for Cialis. It is great. I think it's $30 for the consultation/prescription. You answer a series of questions, and as part of that they ask you whether there is a drug you prefer. They will prescribe up to 90 pills. They send the prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. With GoodRX, my last 90 pills of Cialis 2.5mg daily was about $25. However, they will not prescribe you both Cialis and Sildenafil at the same time.

like @TLawyer said, they won't prescribe both. There are other telemedicine clinics out there that you can use to get Sildenafil, and get your Cialis from GoodRx/HeyDoctor. I personally use Roman, kinda pricey (It's $60 for 10 doses of 60mg Sildenafil) if you use Roman's pharmacy, but they will call in an Rx to your own pharmacy for you as well and just get a coupon from GoodRx for the sildenafil separately.

Onboarding for GoodRx/HeyDoctor was easy as hell, it was all done through chat for me in my state, but may vary depending on where you live and it's requirements. I paid the $30 at 8pm, woke up to the chat messages, and by the next morning the Rx was at the pharmacy being worked on.

When you say they'll prescribe up to 90, does the script they provide include refills? So for example, dispense 90 and up to 3 refills - that's what my PCP has done - or do I have to pay for another consultation for each refill?

They prescribed 90 pills and my pharmacy gave me 60 initially with a refill for 30.

So then you had to go back to HD and pay another consult fee for a renewal script. Still cheaper than a visit to my PCP, but it'd be nice if they made the script good for a year at a time.

No. When my 60 are up, my pharmacy gives me a refill for the remaining 30.

What the pharmacy filled isn't the question, your original script was for 90. When that 90 is up do you have to go back to HD and pay another consultation fee to renew the script beyond the initial 90 day script - appears the answer is Yes.

Yes, once the 90 is up, then you need to go back through another consultation to get a renewed prescription.
