Why you shouldn't visit a clinic just to refill your meds
You don't need to waste 4 hours at the clinic just for a refill. Upload your prescription, get offers from pharmacies, and have your medication delivered same-day.
If your medication hasn't changed and your prescription is still valid, you don't need to spend 4 hours at the clinic every month. Here's how to refill from home.
When can you refill without a clinic visit?
Your prescription is still valid: It has all required elements: medication name, strength, dosage, facility name, doctor's signature, and date. If your doctor wrote "for 6 months," you can refill for the duration without a new visit.
Your medication hasn't changed: Same drug, same dose. If your doctor changed anything at your last appointment, you'll need the updated prescription.
You're not due for a check-up: Most chronic conditions require regular reviews (every 3–6 months). Between those check-ups, refills can happen without a clinic visit.
How do you refill through Famasi?
Step 1: Take a clear photo of your current prescription — both sides if applicable.
Step 2: Upload it through the platform or send to a Care Specialist via WhatsApp.
Step 3: Care Specialist verifies the prescription and confirms medication availability.
Step 4: Get offers from pharmacies in your area. Compare prices and pay.
Step 5: Same-day, 1-hour delivery to your home or office.
Important: Famasi will not process delivery for prescription medications without a valid prescription. If your prescription is expired, your Care Specialist can help coordinate renewal with your doctor — often without an in-person visit.

| Total: 2–5 hours | Total: under 2 hours (no travel) |
Can you automate recurring refills?
If you refill the same medication every month, automate it:
- Monthly refill notice at day 23
- Same prescription, same pharmacies, same delivery process
- No re-uploading the prescription each month. It's already on file
- Care Specialist monitors for when your prescription will need renewal
