If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

If you need to speak to your Doctor about your prescription, please book a telephone appointment.

If you have run out of your medicines and have been told to not stop taking your medication without consulting a Doctor, you can go to your local pharmacy and request an emergency supply. This will be enough for you to keep taking until we can get a new prescription to the pharmacy, even if we are open. Please note we cannot fax prescriptions to chemists. 

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
