Please note: This information is for general reference only. Your clinician will review your symptoms and health history to determine which (if any) high blood pressure treatments are medically appropriate.

Your clinician will need a blood pressure reading and a heart rate reading (pulse) from the past 30 days. If you don't have these numbers, visit your local pharmacy or primary care doctor to get them before you fill out your intake form.

If you want blood pressure medication refills beyond a one-time prescription renewal, your clinician will need to see the results of electrolyte and kidney function level tests from the past 12 months (called "metabolic labs"). You can upload your metabolic lab results as a PDF or photo. If you upload a photo, make sure it shows your full name and the date the labs were completed.

You can request a remote prescription renewal through Amazon Clinic. Your clinician will send any new prescriptions to a U.S. pharmacy of your choice. You pay for the medication when you pick it up or have it delivered.

Depending on the online clinic, a prescription renewal may be for a 30- or 90-day supply of medication. A prescription may also include one or more refills.

Clinicians consider many factors when determining if a prescription is medically appropriate. For example, they may want to know how long it's been since you've:
