For occasional patients (not in charge of the GP’s surgery, residents in an other town and temporary in Leno) the renewal of prescriptions for chronic conditions therapies are done, with the patient present in the surgery:
1) always after an examination, after the exhibition of the ID card, the health card of the ASL and, eventually, of the patient health paper record;
2) eventually (request of pain therapies, psychotropic drug, ansiolitics, drugs with law restrictions or potentially abused) must be provided the name and phone number of the doctor that formerly prescribed the drug, for checking the prescriptions need.
In case the named doctor of the patient isn’t found there will not be proscribed those drugs. The drugs that need the specialistyc therapeutic plana s foresight by AIFA (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco can’t be prescribed by any chance.
NB: the examination is for fee, with tarifs instituted by the national contract for GPs. In many cases is more convenient have the prescriptions (before going in an other region) by your own GP. The prescriptions of drugs and exams of the ER or after hospital discharge must be compiled by the doctors of those organizations on the on the book of prescriptions of the SSN to avoid unnecessary loss of time for patients and doctors.
