private medical prescription?

If a private script states "repeat this" can this be repeated
1) Once within 6 months
...or
2) once again at any time?


Ps - it is for standard blood pressure pills...nothing dodgy.

There's usually a repeat limit - look again, should say 'repeat x6' or somesuch. It indicates how many times it can be filled, and as it's private you can have them all at once. Your medication will have the dosage on it, ie how many times to take them per day etc.

If it just says 'repeat' it's possibly just a one repeat script, and they usually have a life of 6 months.
