How Do Virtual Doctors Know if You Need an Antibiotic?

We have a careful system of checks and balances to ensure that you will only be prescribed medication that you need.

Before you begin your first visit with a Telehealth Options doctor, you will complete a medical survey. In that survey, you will be asked to share both your past medical history plus any known drug allergies or side effects you’ve experienced. The doctor will have this information on hand during your appointment and will use it to determine if you need antibiotics and what medications will work best for you.

In addition, the doctor will be assessing you via the telehealth resources and will ask you the correct clinical questions to assess your illness just as an in-person doctor would do. The doctor will determine if your symptoms indicate viral or bacterial infection to make sure to set the correct treatment plan in place. Our doctors will take the time to accurately diagnose you.

Should the doctor need to order laboratory testing prior to issuing the prescription, they will offer guidance on the next steps.

Furthermore, if our doctor deems an illness to be critical or life-threatening, they will advise you to seek immediate emergency room care.

How Do Online Doctors Prevent Misuse or Overprescribing?

You can rest assured that our online doctors have the skills and experience to accurately diagnose your illness and know when an antibiotic must be prescribed. On average, our doctors have over 15 years of experience in their respective fields. Each is a U.S. Board Certified doctor with over a decade of knowledge and will strive to make you feel better.

We advocate that our doctors take the appropriate amount of time during your consultation to clearly understand all your symptoms and accurately assess your needs. This is the best way to prevent misuse or overprescribing medications.

How Do Telemedicine Doctors Ensure Safe Antibiotic Use?

If you indicated on your medical history that you’ve suffered an allergy or unwanted side effect from any prescription medication, the doctor will know this. In addition, the doctor will be able to consult your medical history that you provided before the online visit to see any current medications you take that can cause negative interactions with antibiotics.

Additionally, our doctor will ask questions about what kind of reactions you have had in the past to certain medications that you indicated on your profile. This will further clarify for the doctor what types of antibiotics are safe for you.

The doctor will also make sure that you understand your treatment plan completely. We want to ensure that you receive full, clear instructions on how to take your antibiotics. You can always ask your pharmacist for further clarification.
