repeat private prescription
29 Answers
I have been getting a repeat prescription from my gp for ED for about 3 years now. It has been helping alot.
Just recently, i noticed on my latest prescription,(on the other side of it which the patient gets back from the pharmacist) was blank, whereas in the past it has always had the name of the medication I'm taking for ED listed to be able to tick for the next batch i need.
Does that mean that this latest batch will be my last if there is no repeat with it?
Does your GP usually inform you if you have to stop taking medication, or can he/she just refuse the future prescriptions you hand in?
Thanks in advance

It is easy for someone to say they have got ED then sell the tabs down the pub. My surgery will not put them on repeat any more to stop people stockpiling them. Boots Pharmacy will even re-order your repeat meds automatically and they get left in peoples cupboards. As mentioned I am coeliac but can no longer get gluten free biscuits because the GP has decided its not needed (I still get other gluten free products like bread).
