This typically involves a basic consultation with a doctor. However, depending on your medical history, you may also need to receive a pelvic exam before getting the prescription. Once the prescription is written, you can usually fill the prescription immediately. If a special procedure is required, this will usually only be scheduled after the initial consultation/exam.
