3. Slightly detailed notes on receiving psychiatric outpatient treatment in Japan.  

Sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills are limited to 30days per prescription.

A prescription issued by a doctor is valid for only 4days. There for please pick up your medicine at the pharmacy within 4days of receiving it.

Without public insurence, self-paid medical treatment, alleviates some of these requirements.

By notification of the health authorities,remote consultation is possibe even for psychiatric consultaions, but actual consultation is required for the first visit and for every third times prescription.

Concerta and Vyvance can only be prescribed by a certified psychiatrist and pharmacy.

Receiving a prescription for remote medical treatment is, in principle, a procedure to send the prescription to the patient's home by real mail from the clinic. Alternatively, we mail medicines from Tanabe Pharmacy, which is adjacent to our hospital.

An electric prescription system has been started, in which clinics directly instruct pharmacies with degital prescription, but it is not fully deveioped yet. Wait a while until the implementation.
