How does the online evaluation work?
Patients start by submitting medical history and skin photos online. A provider licensed in the patient's state reviews that information.
The provider creates a personalized treatment plan only if telehealth care is judged safe and appropriate. This gate keeps remote care limited to suitable cases.
What treatments are prescribed?
Most patients receive a topical antibiotic, a retinoid cream, or both. Patients with moderate acne may also receive oral antibiotics, spironolactone, or combination birth-control pills. Nurx explains these options in its prescription FAQ.
Prescriptions are filled by Nurx pharmacy and reviewed after ten weeks. The ten-week review allows dose or medication changes based on response. Nurx does not prescribe isotretinoin, sold as Accutane. Severe recalcitrant nodular acne requiring that drug needs other in-person care.
