  • so once the prescription is accepted by chemist, theres no other check ups made to find fraud ?

    say if someone ticks a wrong box, either intentionally or by mistake, its up to the chemist to ask for proof?
    or is there another process whereby checks are made?

    Mintec and Colpermin are much the same thing - the active ingredient in each is 0.2ml peppermint oil.

    Peppermint Oil preparations are pretty cheap (unless they're branded, like Mintec and Colpermin) - ask your chemist for the generic equivalent.
