Repeat Dispensing
If you require regular medication your Doctor may decide to make this a Repeat Prescription and issue you with a repeat prescribing slip. The slip indicates how many times you can order a repeat prescription.
- For example, 2/4 indicates that you have already had two out of four authorisations.
- When you have reached your limit (e.g. 4/4) the Doctor will review your notes and may decide to speak to you or see you in Surgery or do a blood test.
- The slip also indicates the date the next issue is due (this will be when your medication runs out).
- The slip may also give a date for review of your medication although this is not often used.
We often use the repeat prescription slip to advertise new services or to pass on important health news.
