New Prescription
Posted , 8 users are following.
I received a text this morning to say my prescription was ready for collection.
However as I had not requested a repeat prescription I was not expecting anything. Upon checking my app I see that the doctor had issued a prescription for another drug, I have not spoken to anyone at the practice for about a month and certainly did not request the prescription and they have not advised me that they issuing it.
Just wondering if they are entitled to do so.
Thanks

I dont know - I receive regular texts to tell me its ready & I just go & get it-sometimes I get a ticket telling me there is one missing because it is out of stock & when I should collect it
Seems logical to me that they are -but dont take my word for it -as I dont know
Seems to me they say theyre entitled to ask anything or so Ive heard

There is no way you should have been given a prescription without being told. It could be that the chemist has made a mistake or the surgery has. I would check with the surgery and find out what has happened.

Yes I agree I dread to think what will happen to our medicines after Brexit

Sorry that is not very helpful. This is supposed to be a serious help site, not a keyboard warrior troll site

Hello Murphymycat
To be fair I know that this is a serious help site -Ive used it often enough & know its not a keyboard warrior troll site
I wasnt trolling anyone-I was just going off stuff I'd heard on the news about what was going to be affected
But youre clearly not happy with my observation so with that in mind I am very sorry that I put that & will be careful what I put in future
Generally like everybody else my comments have also been as helpful as everyone elses are

I wouldn't have thought any GP would have prescribed any new medication without talking to the patient and them having a clinical need. Have you talked to the surgery? That is your first port of call. If you talk to the receptionist and tell them what the problem is someone should ring you back, you shouldn't an appointment.
