I have a repeat prescription x 6, my local pharmacy will only give 1 month at a time, I assume this will be the same in the North which means I will have to make 6 journeys.
It depends on the medication...some drugs they can only supply a limited quantity of but the reason (in some cases) that pharmacists don't like dispensing all of the prescription is that they make less money - 1 dispensing fee instead of 6. I recently stood my ground with a local pharmacy and got all six months of my prescription filled. A not insignificant saving.
Purchased cholesterol lowering generics yesterday in Boots Dublin and there has been a noticeable decrease in the cost from circa €35 to €28 per month. I would be interested to know how much these cost in Northern Ireland?
