| Repeat
Prescriptions |
|
|
| We try to avoid many repeat presciptions as your
medication should be reviewed. |
|
- Regular recalls at 3 or 6 moths intervals
- The Nurse can review Blood pressure and Peak
Flow checks
- Keep the latest prescription counterfoil

Repeat Prescriptions:
We are not keen on repeat prescribing. We prefer to assess your
condition by seeing you when your medicines run low. To avoid too many
visits to the surgery we may give you a longer supply of medication. We
should attempt to keep the tablets in phase with each other so they all
run low together. For some conditions repeat prescriptions are
sensible. Note that it may take a full working day to process such a
repeat prescription. Keep the computer printout, the prescription
counterfoil, that comes with the prescription. This lists the drugs you
are on, or have had recently, and has a date by when I expect to have
seen and reviewed your medication. You can show this paper to hospital
doctors. For a repeat prescription drop round, post or fax the tear off
slip, ticking the items required. Please don't phone in for repeat
prescriptions since this jams up the phone lines and phoning can lead
to errors.
