A repeat prescription is nothing but a medicine that a GP advises on your prescription letter. It can be supplied without the need to visiting your GP each time.
Generally, repeat prescriptions are issued only for six to
12 months. However, it may vary with the type of medication prescribed and the
GP’s discretion.
Your GP will write the first prescription that usually consists
of two different parts. The green slip, which is the actual prescription, is
something that you submit to your pharmacist to get your medicines, while the
other one is white that shows the list of medications that you can order on a
regular basis for a specific duration, which is known as repeat re-order form.
All one needs to do is tick the medications that are
required regularly only after a GP’s consent, and then you can request for re-order
repeat prescription online.
Can a dispenser collect
your prescription?
Many pharmacists offer a prescription collection service
from your GP. A repeat electronic prescription is the most vital tool that is shared
between your prescribing doctor and pharmacist to help you collect/receive your
repeat medications without visiting your GP. You must speak to your GP and your
pharmacist to know more about the repeat prescription online service.
It is highly recommended that you order your repeat
prescription online two working days before you run out of your medication. You
can ask your GP to offer you medication if you run out of supply and fail to
re-order. Nevertheless, it depends on the GP’s availability to sign a
prescription.
