How Can You Help?

Only order what you need

  • Let your GP or pharmacist know if you've stopped taking any of your medicines.
  • Check what medicines you still have at home before re-ordering.
  • Discuss your medication with your Pharmacist or GP on a regular basis.
  • Think carefully before ticking all the boxes on your repeat prescription forms and only tick those you really need.
  • If you don't need the medicine - don't order it! If you need the medicine in the future you can still request it.
  • If you need to go into hospital, please take all your medicines with you.
  • Please remember your medicines are prescribed for you - it is not safe to share them.
