Medication Review Date
It is important to remember that the doctor needs to see patients regularly to ensure that the most appropriate medication is prescribed. A medication review date appears on the repeat prescription tear off slip. If your review is overdue this may delay your prescription.
Requests for Non-repeat Prescriptions
If your prescription request is for an item that is not on your repeat prescription list, please be aware that there may be a delay if the originating doctor is not available to issue it.
