If the doctor prescribes medication, it is submitted electronically or by phone to the pharmacy of your choice. Will I be contacted by Teladoc when my prescription is ready? Teladoc will automatically notify you through email and the message center when your prescription is submitted. We suggest contacting your selected pharmacy to confirm when your prescription will be ready. Can you prescribe antibiotics? Yes, however, any prescription of antibiotics must be accurate and professional. We understand the negative consequences that may result from over-prescribing, and thus our doctors will only write prescriptions in instances where such medication is absolutely necessary. Antibiotics aren’t always the right treatment. Antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses like colds, flu, most sore throats, bronchitis, and many sinus and ear infections. Instead, the doctor may provide a treatment plan that includes symptom relief for viral infections.
