Repeat Prescriptions How often?
Comments

My GP has always and still does give me 3mths tablets at a time... but these are tablets that I will be taking for life......... I can't imagine how much this would of cost over the years had I had to pay full price for them. I am even more grateful now I am 60 and pay nothing... where else can would I benefit from such a system... :T
It does seem to be a bit random though that some pay 3X for the same amount of tablets... maybe a word with your doctor would get a result..#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

PPC .. 3 months £ 27.85 [£21.30 ]
..12 months £102.50 [£85.20]
If you are only getting £7.10 a month's worth, then your pharmacist is correct. You're right on the edge.0 -

Do you have to have check ups or anything because of your medication? I think this is what my dad has, so can only get one month at a time.0

We use a lot of prescribed medication in my house, we get 2 months a time prescribed on all of it. If I was going away and asked for more they would give me it.
I would explain your situation to the surgery and find out what their policy is too. Hopefully they may prescribe more if they know the reason why.0 -

Nope - not a penny. Which in itself is ridiculous when you hear about people asking for prescriptions for paracetamol which are about 16p in Tesco.0
