What should I Do if I run out of medication? 

It is easy to forget when to re-order your medication, which is why it is important to keep a close eye on your supply. We encourage our patients to re-order their medication BEFORE they run out of their supply, to ensure that we fulfil their prescription before they run out completely.

It can take up to 48hours for your GP practice to process your prescription and send it to your pharmacy. It is not an immediate process, so please keep this in mind.

If you notice you have run out of your usual medication, please contact your Pharmacy in first instance, as they may be able to issue an emergency supply to tide you over until a full prescription has been organised. Pharmacies cannot do an emergency prescription for Controlled Drugs. Click HERE to check if your medication is classed as a controlled drug. If you have run out of a controlled drug, you must submit a written medication request to your GP practice or pharmacy as soon as you can. If your request is urgent, you could contact us on 01463 220077 and arrange to collect your prescription from the GP practice yourself, as this may be quicker.
