Repeat Orders From MARUCANNA

Once you request a repeat prescription, it typically takes about 6 working days to receive your medication. To avoid any delays in your treatment, we suggest submitting your repeat prescription request 8 working days before your current supply runs out.

Please note that delays may occur if your payment isn’t processed promptly or if your medication is out of stock.

If your current medication is working well for you, your specialised prescriber will likely approve a repeat prescription.

However, you should reach out to your prescriber or book an appointment if you:

• Want to change your dosage
• Need to adjust the potency of your medication
• Are interested in trying a different type of medication
• Are experiencing side effects
• Feel that medical cannabis isn’t providing the desired results
