Some features of the Software require that your account on the Software is linked to a dispense account at your Favourite Pharmacy which is a MedAdvisor network pharmacy. To activate these features, you, or your carer, will need to complete the registration process in person at the pharmacy.
Other features of the Software may require that you provide your contact details to your medical practitioner.
