Who this applies to

Anyone prescribed medicines. Since 2024 Lithuanian e-prescriptions also work cross-border — you can buy the medicines at, for example, Latvian and Polish pharmacies (check with the specific pharmacy before travelling). If you cannot use the portal, your doctor can appoint a representative to collect medicines for you.

Step by step

View the prescription

Log in to esveikata.lt (via the e-government gateway) — you'll see the medicine, dosage and expiry. Collect the first time within 30 days, or the prescription lapses.

Collect at the pharmacy

For yourself — show an ID document. For someone else — you need their authorisation or portal-appointed representative status: the representative confirms consent on esveikata.lt with an e-signature.

For convenience — order online

On esveikata.lt you can order the medicine from a chosen e-pharmacy and compare prices (the pharmacy confirms the final price). While the order status is “Gautas vaistinėje”, it can still be cancelled.

Common mistakes

Missing the first-collection window — uncollected within 30 days, the prescription lapses.
Collecting someone's medicines without authorisation or representative status — the pharmacist will refuse.
Assuming the prescription is tied to one pharmacy — it works at every connected pharmacy.

Frequently asked questions

How long is an e-prescription valid?

Usually 30 days from issue; for some medicines the doctor may set a shorter or longer term — visible on esveikata.lt.

Does it work abroad?

Yes — since 2024 Lithuanian e-prescriptions work in the EU cross-border system, e.g. at Latvian and Polish pharmacies. Check with the specific pharmacy before travelling.
