Medical care
Are the doctors licensed Australian practitioners?arrow_drop_down
They sure are. All myduke™ partner medical practitioners are all licensed to practice medicine in Australia.
What’s an Authorised Prescriber?arrow_drop_down
Only registered medical practitioners can be approved as Authorised Prescribers with the ability to prescribe specific unapproved therapeutic goods (like nicotine) directly to patients, however, they must be approved as Authorised Prescribers by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
Are all doctors Authorised Prescribers?arrow_drop_down
No, all doctors are not authorised prescribers. This bit is important. To be an Authorised Prescriber under the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) a doctor must complete an application process.
In most cases, the TGA considers medical practitioners with specialist or general registration with the Medical Board of Australia to be appropriate for the Authorised Prescriber scheme. However, approval must still be sought and given by the TGA under the Authorised Prescriber scheme.
Are the myduke™ partner doctors Authorised Prescribers?arrow_drop_down
They sure are. All myduke™ partner medical practitioners are Authorised Prescribers with approval to prescribe nicotine by the TGA.
How do I find an Authorised Prescriber?arrow_drop_down
Authorised Prescribers are not allowed to advertise under the TGA guidelines. But luckily, we have them! All myduke™ doctors are authorised under the Authorised Prescriber scheme, making your experience with myduke™ a proper end-to-end solution. You can shop vapes, get a prescription, and get your script filled. All in the one spot.
What are the changes to the Authorised Prescriber scheme?arrow_drop_down
Changes were made to streamline the application process for medicines considered to have an established history of use within the Authorised Prescriber scheme in 2020 and implemented by the TGA on 1 October 2021.
This change includes nicotine moving from being a schedule 7 medicine to a schedule 4 medicine, meaning it can be prescribed by Authorised Prescriber.
Is telehealth legal?arrow_drop_down
In short, yes. Telehealth is simply healthcare delivered over the phone, or online. Anything other than a face-to-face consultation. Telehealth is legal and is governed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency’s (AHPRA) code of conduct, which all myduke™ doctors follow.
How much is a doctor consultation?arrow_drop_down
Nothing! All your doctor phone consultations are always included FREE every single time. These are built into the framework every 12 months to monitor your dose and progress. Consultations can also be requested at any point in time as required. Doctor consultations will be facilitated by the myduke™ team for you when required. Please note the team can also follow up with the doctor on your behalf with any questions or concerns.
Why is a doctor’s consultation necessary?arrow_drop_down
Times have changed in Australia. Nicotine is a schedule 4 medicine and therefore can only be prescribed by a medical practitioner. That’s just how things are now. As with any prescribed medication, it’s important to track patient progress and monitor dose. Phone consultations are provided by our partner doctors every 12 months free as part of our service to keep you safe and comfortable.

General FAQs
How myduke™ works?arrow_drop_down
It’s a long story. Find out how it works to check out our process, our doctors, and our subscription offers.
Are there age restrictions with nicotine products?arrow_drop_down
Nicotine products are only available via prescription for people over 18 years-old. If you’re under 18, sorry, we can’t help you.
What are the changes to legislation regarding nicotine?arrow_drop_down
On 1 October 2021, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) implemented new legislation whereby you can no longer legally buy nicotine e-cigarettes or nicotine e-liquid from overseas websites without a prescription from an Australian authorised prescribing doctor. That’s the new law, as it stands right now.
Although this does make vaping a bit more complicated, there’s good thinking behind it. Needing a prescription to access nicotine e-cigarettes aims to prevent adolescents and young adults from taking-up nicotine e-cigarettes, while still allowing adult smokers to get these products for smoking cessation (based on health practitioner's advice).
Are any vape ingredients now prohibited?arrow_drop_down
Yep, there are certain ingredients that are prohibited. These ingredients are not present in any of the nicotine products available on the myduke™ website. We’ve gone to a lot of effort to find the safest, best-quality vapes on the market.
