Can Gambi-hwan Non-face-to-face Consultation Be Received from Anywhere in Korea?
To answer directly, it is possible to receive Gambi-hwan prescriptions through non-face-to-face consultation from anywhere in Korea and receive it by delivery.
According to Doctor Now materials, since February 2024, non-face-to-face consultation has been fully permitted including initial visits, and an environment has been established where herbal medicine prescriptions can be received from anywhere in the country through non-face-to-face consultation with Korean medicine doctors. As a result, those who have difficulty visiting the clinic due to distance can now receive herbal medicine after consultation from home.
However, non-face-to-face consultation is currently operated as a temporary measure, so there may be changes in related policies. Additionally, whether a prescription is issued is determined by the Korean medicine doctor after confirming individual constitution and condition, so prescriptions do not proceed identically in all cases. It is good to identify your health status and medications you are taking before consultation.
What is Gambi-hwan and Why It Can Be Prescribed Non-face-to-face
Gambi-hwan is a diet herbal medicine formulated in pill form using herbal ingredients such as Mahuang (ephedrine). The primary purpose of prescription is to assist weight loss focused on body fat through appetite control and increased basal metabolic rate.
According to Doctor Now QnA materials, herbal medicines that do not fall under narcotics, psychotropic substances, or drugs with risk of misuse are indicated to allow non-face-to-face prescription. Gambi-hwan does not fall into this category, allowing non-face-to-face prescription, and the fact that it is formulated in pill form enables ambient temperature delivery without separate refrigeration, which is one of the advantageous conditions for non-face-to-face prescription.
The following matters must be confirmed during non-face-to-face consultation and must be reported to medical staff in advance before consultation.
— Currently taking medications (including Western medicines such as cold medicine and blood pressure medication)
— Presence of underlying conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, etc.
— Symptoms that were uncomfortable after herbal medicine intake in the past (headache, insomnia, nausea, etc.)
— Whether currently pregnant or breastfeeding
If there are existing medications being taken, drug interactions may occur with concurrent use, so it is safe to disclose all relevant matters and then determine whether to proceed with prescription.
