How to cancel Nurx and reclaim control of your telehealth account in singapore
Why you might want to cancel Nurx
Nurx is an online telehealth platform that connects you with licensed clinicians for prescription services, sexual health testing, and remote healthcare delivered to your address. The service operates primarily in the United States, though some Singapore-based users may access it through their platform. Services typically include birth control prescriptions, STI testing kits, and other medications delivered by post where available in your region.
You may decide to cancel Nurx for several reasons: privacy concerns about ordering sensitive healthcare items online, unexpected currency conversion charges in SGD, preference for a local Singapore healthcare provider, or automatic refills resuming without your explicit consent. Cancelling promptly prevents unwanted charges and restores your autonomy over your healthcare choices. At Yafee, we help you navigate subscription cancellations with clarity and confidence.
Common reasons for cancellation
Privacy and data security concerns rank highly among cancellation drivers, especially for users ordering sensitive health products. Cost surprises occur when USD pricing converts to SGD with additional bank fees, making the service more expensive than anticipated. Service dissatisfaction arises when delivery times exceed expectations or specific medications prove unavailable in Singapore. Finally, you may simply prefer consulting a licensed healthcare provider in Singapore rather than managing prescriptions remotely.
Key facts about Nurx for singapore users
Nurx displays pricing in USD and targets United States customers primarily. As a Singapore user, you may face currency conversion charges depending on your payment method and bank. No publicly confirmed Singapore-specific pricing tier exists at this time. You must log into your Nurx account to verify current charges and confirm whether specific services remain available in your location before making a cancellation decision.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you enforceable rights when purchasing telehealth subscriptions, regardless of whether delivery occurs online or by post.
Legal protections that apply to your Nurx subscription
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Nurx must provide you with clear, accurate information about all charges, cancellation procedures, and service delivery terms before you agree to pay. The platform cannot apply unfair contract terms such as billing you after you have requested cancellation or imposing unreasonably restrictive refund conditions. If Nurx charges your account without your explicit, ongoing consent or continues billing after you have cancelled, you possess the right to dispute the charge through your bank and escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for formal mediation.
Telehealth services receive identical protections under consumer law as physical goods. You have the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe if the service does not match the advertised description. Your legal position is straightforward: Nurx cannot enforce payment obligations after you have clearly communicated your cancellation request, nor can it impose penalties that breach fair trading principles.
What to do if Nurx refuses to cancel
If Nurx's support team fails to respond within 48 hours, continues charging after your cancellation request, or explicitly refuses a legitimate cancellation, escalate the matter to CASE. The Consumers Association of Singapore operates a free mediation service that investigates complaints and contacts Nurx on your behalf. You can also dispute the charge directly with your bank or credit card issuer, which may reverse unauthorised transactions within 60 to 120 days, depending on your institution's terms. Document all cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and disputed transactions before escalating.
Methods for cancelling your Nurx account
Nurx accepts cancellation requests through multiple channels, each with distinct timelines and confirmation processes.
Cancel via the Nurx mobile app
The Nurx mobile app provides the fastest cancellation route for most users. Open the app, navigate to your account settings, locate the subscription management section, and select the option to cancel your active subscription. The app will prompt you to confirm your cancellation and may offer retention incentives such as discounts. Accept or decline these offers, then confirm your final cancellation. The app generates an immediate cancellation confirmation that you should screenshot for your records. This method typically processes within 24 hours.
Cancel via the Nurx website
Log into your Nurx account through the web portal, access your account settings or profile menu, and locate subscription management options. Click the cancellation link, review the reason-selection form if prompted, and submit your cancellation request. The website will display a confirmation message and send a confirmation email to your registered address. Retain this email as proof of cancellation. Website cancellations typically process within 24 to 48 hours.
Cancel by email
Send a cancellation request email to [email protected] with your full name, registered email address, and account number (if available). Clearly state "I request cancellation of my Nurx subscription, effective immediately." Request a written confirmation of cancellation. Use registered mail or an email service that provides read receipts to document your request. Email cancellations may take 3 to 5 business days to process, so follow up if you do not receive confirmation within this window.
Cancel by phone
Contact Nurx's support line during business hours (timings vary by region). Have your account details and payment information ready. Inform the representative that you wish to cancel your subscription immediately. Request that they provide a cancellation confirmation number and send a confirmation email to your registered address. Document the representative's name, call date, and time for your records. Phone cancellations process immediately, though email confirmation may arrive within 24 hours.
Cancel by formal mail
For documented disputes or if other methods fail, send a formal cancellation notice by registered mail to Nurx's address. Address the letter to the Nurx customer service department, include your full name, registered email, account number, and a clear statement of your cancellation request with the intended effective date. Request a return receipt from the postal service. Retain the postal receipt as proof of delivery. Formal mail cancellations typically process within 5 to 10 business days but provide the strongest legal documentation if the company disputes your cancellation later.

Refund eligibility and timelines
Nurx typically refunds unused services or unopened shipments within 30 days of purchase if you cancel before medication dispatch. If your prescription has already been dispatched, refund eligibility depends on whether you have received and opened the package. Cancelled subscriptions are usually not charged further, but you must cancel before the next billing cycle begins. Refunds process to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days after approval. Currency conversion may reduce the SGD amount you receive if your original payment was in USD. Request an itemised refund receipt from Nurx confirming what has been refunded and what charges remain.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is not instantaneous; several actions occur in the days and weeks following your request.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Your Nurx account remains accessible for 30 days after cancellation, allowing you to download past consultation records or medical information. You cannot place new orders or request prescription refills once cancellation is confirmed. Any pending refills scheduled to dispatch after your cancellation date will not be sent. You should receive a final confirmation email summarising your cancellation and any outstanding balances or refunds due.
Billing and refund timeline
Nurx stops charging your account at the end of your current billing cycle or immediately, depending on your subscription plan. Pro-rated refunds (refunds for unused days within your billing period) may be issued if you cancel mid-cycle. Monitor your bank statement for 14 days after cancellation to confirm that no further charges appear. If charges continue, contact your bank immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation number as evidence. Yafee's guides help you track these details systematically to protect yourself against billing errors.
Account deletion and data removal
Cancellation alone does not delete your account or personal data from Nurx's systems. If you wish to request complete account deletion, contact Nurx support separately and invoke your rights under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Nurx must delete your personal information within 30 days of your verified deletion request, subject to legal retention obligations. Request written confirmation of data deletion and retain this confirmation for your records.
Common mistakes when cancelling Nurx
Cancellation setbacks are avoidable if you understand the most frequent errors users encounter.
Relying on app notifications alone without written confirmation
In-app cancellation messages may not constitute sufficient proof if Nurx later disputes your cancellation. Always request a confirmation email from [email protected] or retain a screenshot of the in-app confirmation with the date and time clearly visible. Written confirmation allows you to escalate disputes to CASE with documented evidence of your cancellation intent.
Cancelling without confirming the billing cycle date
If you cancel mid-cycle, you may still be charged for the remainder of that billing period. Understand when your next billing date occurs before cancelling. If you wish to avoid the next charge entirely, cancel before your next billing date arrives. Yafee recommends checking your most recent invoice to identify your exact billing cycle.
Assuming cancellation prevents all pending refills
Cancellation stops future subscription charges but may not halt a refill already scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. Contact Nurx immediately after cancelling to confirm that no prescriptions are pending dispatch. If a package arrives after cancellation, refuse the delivery or return it to Nurx and file a chargeback if you are charged.
Failing to monitor your bank account for charges
Residual charges or system errors may result in unexpected debits after cancellation. Check your statement daily for 10 days following cancellation confirmation. Report any unauthorised charges to your bank within the dispute window (typically 60 to 120 days, depending on your issuer). Provide your cancellation confirmation number and email as supporting evidence.
Not requesting a cancellation confirmation number
If you cancel via phone or chat, ask for a reference or confirmation number before ending the conversation. This number accelerates dispute resolution if Nurx later claims it has no record of your cancellation. Record the representative's name, call date, and time as additional corroborating details.

For documented cancellation notices or formal disputes, use these contact details to reach Nurx's administrative team.
Email cancellation (primary method)
Send cancellation requests to [email protected] with your full name, registered account email, and a clear statement requesting immediate subscription cancellation. Include your account number if available. Request a written confirmation reply within 24 hours. This email creates a timestamped record of your cancellation intent.
Formal mail cancellation (secondary method)
If email and online methods fail, send a registered letter to Nurx's customer service address. Request a return receipt from your postal service and retain the receipt as proof of delivery. Address the envelope to "Nurx Customer Service Department, Subscription Cancellation Request" and include your full name, account number, registered email, the date of your request, and a statement clearly requesting cancellation effective immediately. Formal mail provides the strongest legal documentation if subsequent disputes arise.
Escalation contact: consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Nurx refuses to cancel or continues charging after cancellation, file a complaint with CASE. You can submit complaints online via the CASE website, by phone at 1800-6100-6, or by visiting their office at 101 Cecil Street, #07-02 Tong Eng Building, Singapore 069534. CASE provides free mediation and will contact Nurx on your behalf. Provide copies of your cancellation requests, confirmation emails, and any disputed charges when filing your complaint.
Final steps and protecting your account
Once you have cancelled Nurx successfully, take additional steps to protect your account and financial information going forward.
Change your Nurx password immediately if you provided payment details through the platform, even after cancellation. Monitor your credit file with the Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS) for unauthorised activity linked to the email address you registered with Nurx. If you used a credit card or debit card, consider requesting a new card from your bank to prevent future misuse. Request a statement from Nurx confirming that your account is cancelled and no further charges will be applied. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate complex subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity, ensuring they reclaim control of their finances and privacy. Use the guidance in this article and the supporting checklist to safeguard yourself against billing errors and unauthorised charges. Document every step, retain all confirmations, and escalate promptly to CASE if Nurx fails to honour your cancellation request.
