Requests for repeat prescriptions can be made by using our designated script line on (028 79 440779).

Please allow at least 48 hours for repeat/acute prescriptions and leave the name of your nominated pharmacy.

Immediately necessary treatment will be issued on the day of request but will have to be collected from the surgery by the patient.

Collection of prescriptions should be made by adults only.

If you have questions about your medication, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medication you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medication works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription please book a routine telephone call with our practice based pharmacist or the GP.

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
