Length of Repeat Prescriptions

Length of Repeat Prescriptions

We issue routine repeat prescriptions to patients with a maximum of 2 months supply.

For some higher risk medications, in the interest of patient safety, we will issue prescriptions to last for less than 2 months.

Patients travelling abroad for extended periods will need to obtain their medication from a local medical service.

In exceptional circumstances, we might be able to issue routine medication as a one-off for up to 3 months, e.g. for patients travelling abroad. Although this would be decided on a case-by-case basis depending on the medication being requested and is contingent upon the patient having an up-to-date medication review.
