Help!

I dropped my repeat prescription off at the doctors on Monday passed so it would be ready before I run out, which is tonight.

I went in to collect it from the pharmacy today, however they have advised that it isn't received!

I'm on 10mg of Sertraline and very anxious about missing any dosages as I have only started to level or while on the tablets.

What can I do? Do I ring NHS Direct??

    That would be a good start - I'm sure they will tell you what to do. Always check things haven't got lost for something like this - I bet you won't risk it again!

      NHS 111 helped, picking it up tomorrow. They think the GP lost the prprescription in the send over.

      Great!!!! I rarely have a problem - I have to go to the doc and fetch the prescriptions but I always use the same pharmacy here in the village and if I do run out they will give me a packet until I get a prescription. I have to pay for it in the meantime - but that is Italy for you!

      Hope it doesn't happen again! You'll be able to sleep better tonight.
