I`ve run out of my tablets for my heart failure. Ordered on repeat prescription, but I was sure the pharmacy in the doctors was open on Saturday mornings. Not any more it seems. Better take it easy until Monday I suppose.

Many pharmacies will dispense 'emergency' medicines if you take an old stub off any prescription to them because repeats and other medicines you take are always listed on there (right hand side). I have done this twice after my doctor found out I had gone without asthma medicine over Christmas one year

Thanks for replies. Have spoken to a doc on the `phone and a months supply is waiting for me at the main hospital. On my way.

Thanks. I checked and found out that the doc/pharmacy did used to open Sat mornings, but stopped recently. The hospital wanted £3.50 to park the car. No ta - parked 200 yards away and walked in.
