E-prescriptions and pharmacy access for tourists in Mauritius
How digital prescriptions work after a TouristDoctor consult — and what to bring to the pharmacy counter.
After a TouristDoctor teleconsult, tourists in Mauritius can receive e-prescriptions for collection at local pharmacies when clinically appropriate.

You have consulted a doctor from your hotel balcony. Now you need antibiotics, inhalers or skin treatment — fast. TouristDoctor's e-prescription workflow is designed for travellers without a local GP relationship.
How it works
- Complete telemedicine or on-site consult with a licensed TouristDoctor physician
- Doctor issues e-prescription when clinically appropriate and legally permitted
- Prescription transmitted securely — you receive confirmation and pharmacy guidance
- Present ID and prescription reference at pharmacy
What to bring to the pharmacy
- Passport or photo ID
- Prescription reference (SMS, email or app confirmation)
- Insurance details if claiming medication cover
- List of existing medications to avoid interactions
Controlled medicines
Some substances require in-person assessment or cannot be prescribed remotely under local rules. Your doctor explains alternatives — never pressure for inappropriate prescriptions.
Finding a pharmacy
Major towns have late-opening pharmacies; resorts may have limited stock. Our team can suggest nearby options based on your location — especially for paediatric liquids or inhalers.
Keep original packaging and receipts if you plan an insurance claim for medication costs.
Follow-up
If symptoms persist after starting treatment, message us for review. Antibiotic courses should be completed; side effects should be reported promptly.
