Care in the chemist

 A friend used the care  in the chemist scheme today for medication for her 4 year old .  The chemist gave her less than half a bottle saying this was now policy, I find this very strange anyone on here who can confirm if this is indeed policy,

Hu?

A new condition or chronic? How long is the amount given intended to last? Is this something the pharmacist is allowed to prescribe themselves or an emergency supply of a repeat prescription that they'd run out of?

It was for liquid paracetamol for new condition ie, illness .

They’ve stopped doing that round here as people are taking the mick and is really not expensive to buy. I suspect the half bottle was to see out the ailment only, any more to keep in for other reasons would need to be bought
