Methotrexate repeat prescriptions
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, I have been on methotrexate for years (9 tabs per week) with monthly blood tests but my gp has taken it off repeat and says that is the rules now.
I don't mind just getting a months worth each month but does everyone else have to see a gp each month to get their prescription?
Thx

Thx for your reply. My rheumatologist only issues hospital prescriptions which would be more of a nuisance.
I'm going to email the surgery now and see if I can make sense of it

Hi thx for reply. It's not like they let the tea boy sign of on repeat requests is it. They are still checked by a doctor!
Even the pharmacist was confused

Now i inject Methokect which is ether for the side affects. However I get 2 months prescriptions delivered at home by Health at Home which is a specialist organisations delivering this type of toxic medication. My GP has never issued methotrexate on prescription

Maybe you should shop around for a rheumatologist.
