Ordering monthly medicines for a parent: a simple routine
Long-term medicines run out on a fixed rhythm. Keep one list of the exact brands, order a few days before the strip ends, and save the order under your parent so the same list comes back next month at that day’s prices.
Make one list
Write down each medicine as the doctor wrote it: brand, strength, form, dose. Keep the latest prescription with it. This is the list you order from and the one you show a new doctor.
Order before the strip ends
Delivery usually takes five to seven days, and the expected date is shown before you pay. Order when about ten days are left, or order two or three months at once for medicines your parent takes every day.

Save it under their name
After ordering, tap who the order is for. Next month, Reorder brings the same list back at that day's prices, and the address you used for them is chosen for you.
Never stop or change a medicine without the doctor, even if a strip runs out. Ask a pharmacist what to do in the meantime.
Questions
Can I order for my parent from my own account?
Yes. Save them as a family member and send the order to their address.
Is there a limit on how much I can order?
No small limit. You can order a longer supply of a medicine taken every day.
Does the price stay the same next month?
Reorder uses that day’s price, which is shown before you pay.
