E-drug: Repeat ordering on antibiotic prescriptions (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as I am aware in Kenya, patients must return to the Doctor
for a repeat prescription. Repeat supply is not legally allowed.
However, in reality, patients do collect antibiotics several times
from the same prescription in quite a number of retail pharmacies. It
is also not difficult to get antibiotics from retail chemists without a
prescription.
