Prescriptions

Ordering a repeat prescription

  • Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
  • We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.

When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

Medication reviews

If you take medicine regularly, you should check that it is right at least once a year. This is called a 'medication review'. You should also arrange a review if you're experiencing side effects from your medication.
