Doctors Prescription Bundle Option
No, Yes
How to Get a Prescription?
Customers across the UK often complain about difficulty getting Herpes or any prescription when they get a positive test result. They often visit a doctor or NHS SH centre, which wastes many hours, travel costs, and paying private Doctors’ fees.
Medicines Online is the first UK Diagnostic Laboratory to bundle a Prescription Referral Service with its Product solutions. When you purchase this option, a positive result report is sent within seconds to the dashboard of our referral GP.
Bundle at the time of Purchase: Price £30
You can select the bundle at the time of the order. The £30 price is a special bundle due to efficient, simple AI transmission.
You can also select this £30 Bundle at the checkout.
Complete your purchase, and if you get a positive result, go to your dashboard and fill out the pop-up Referral Questionnaire from the Doctor.
If your result is positive, a Referral is automatically transferred to the Doctor for processing via the Doctor’s Login Dashboard. You will be contacted by email or telephone if the doctor has any questions. If approved, your Online Digital prescription will be automatically emailed the same day or the next day, and you can take it to your nearest Pharmacy.
Total time: Up to 1 day from positive result to email your Digital Prescription.
When choosing the bundle, regardless of your result, you choose the special price ‘In case of receiving a positive result’. A regular prescription is twice the price. The bundle option is an offer as a pack. This value is not refundable. It’s a good choice if you’re sure you have an infection. If you don’t have anything but want to get a test to be sure, then maybe this is not for you. And anyway you have the £60 option later if you want it.
And the Non-Bundle Price option of £60
You can wait until you get your HSV-positive result and then visit our Online Prescription Page and pay for your Referral Consultation at the regular rate of £60.
Purchase the Referral Prescription product for £60 on the website.
Provide the order number that you had a positive result so we can track it and Upload your result pdf.
Complete the purchase and fill out the pop-up Referral Questionnaire from the Doctor.
For positive results, your Referral is automatically transferred to the Doctor for processing. If the doctor has any questions, you will be contacted by email or telephone. If approved, your Online Digital prescription will be automatically emailed within 1 day of completing the questionnaire, and you can take it to your nearest Pharmacy.
Total time: Up to 1 day for processing Digital Online Prescription.
Prescription does not apply for HPV, HIV and Syphilis products.
What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?
Technology Method:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Limit of Detection:
Type I: 324 copies/mL. Type II: 404 copies/mL
Sensitivity:
In the kit’s positive and negative reference controls, the positive and negative coincidence rates were 100%.
Specificity:
No cross-reactivity of the kit between the microorganisms was observed.
Accuracy:
Precision reference controls were checked 10 times. The coefficient of variation (CV%) of the CT value was no greater than 5%.
The accuracy of our diagnostic exams is defined as the combination of sensitivity and specificity variables. However, Sensitivity is the test’s ability to confirm positive results; specificity eliminates negative results. Furthermore, all our methods are validated with high accuracy (up to 98.5%).
Variables
Accuracy can be affected by various factors that our lab cannot control. Infection intensity, patient health, and sample quality, dependent on adherence to “home sampling” procedures, can all limit the results. However, although our methods are extremely sensitive, a poor-quality swab makes it harder to detect the presence of infection, as fewer viral particles will be present. So, please carefully consider the information sheet accompanying your sample collection kit to ensure a high-quality sample.
Detection
The Herpes PCR method is designed to detect the presence of Human papillomavirus in the sample accurately. Furthermore, a positive result will distinguish between HSV Type I and Type II or if both types are present in the sample.
Any diagnosis should be discussed with your healthcare provider. And any results from our medical diagnostics laboratory are intended to be viewed by healthcare professionals. Moreover, this can be done with a patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and other factors that may influence results, which should be shared with your GP when discussing these results.
Positive result
So, a positive result suggests the presence of viral particles in the sample during sampling. Upon receiving positive results, you should contact your healthcare provider for treatment. You can also gain a prescription through our website. The exam may be useful where the Virus does not present disease symptoms, but you may still be infectious to others.
Negative result
And while this can provide reassurance, it is important to understand its significance. However, this means the exam did not detect the presence of infection at the time of sampling. Also, results should still be discussed with a healthcare provider while considering lifestyle and sexual history. However, if you are in contact with someone who is positive for the disease or begins to present symptoms consistent with the disease, you should contact your GP.
