Generally, no: HealthTap Prime, our premium primary care service in the US, offers private online consultations for common primary care or acute care issues. Sometimes medications are prescribed online; other times, the patient needs to see an in-person doctor for medications. Drugs for treating male-pattern baldness and drugs for treating male erectile problems are among those not prescribed on HealthTap Prime.
