You ask for a repeat prescription for medicine you take regularly.
💡
How it's done. An e-recepta arrives as a code by SMS or e-mail; at the pharmacy you give the code and your PESEL; a prescription is usually valid for thirty days; for a repeat you often do not need an appointment.Prepared by the Movko team, November 2026. This is language help, not legal or medical advice: check the rules with the office itself.
