Prescription Problems: What to Do
| Problem | Best action | Prepare this | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running low | Order when less than 7 days remain. | Medicine name, strength, dose, pharmacy. | Allows time for 3-working-day processing. |
| Pharmacy says not received | Check whether GP approved it and whether pharmacy has dispensed it. | Request date and nominated pharmacy. | GP approval and pharmacy dispensing are separate steps. |
| Medication review due | Attend the review when asked. | Side effects, BP readings, blood tests, current medicines. | Kenyon says medication reviews keep treatment safe and effective. |
| Need urgent medication advice out of hours | Call NHS 111. | Medicine name, dose, last dose, allergy details. | Routine practice form may not be read quickly outside hours. |
| Need prescription posted | Provide stamped self-addressed envelope. | Correct address and postage. | Kenyon says it can post if you provide the envelope. |

Minor conditions
Ask a pharmacy first for suitable minor illness and medicine advice.
GP record update
The pharmacy can update the GP health record after the Pharmacy First consultation.
