To ask my pharmacist to use my actual title on my medicine

Yes I agree with @prescribingmum that’s likely what has happened. My DH was addressed as ‘Master’ by his private health provider for years before they finally changed it to ‘Mr’. Goodness knows why that title was entered onto the database! Where I currently live there are no pharmacies that will fill any sort of private prescription. So that’s probably something to be aware of OP if you do change to another pharmacy. I assume the cost of a private prescription will be the cost of the drug and some sort of mark up? If it’s any consolation I often get told what an expensive medication I am getting on the NHS by my pharmacy.I therefore understand you feeling got at OP. I just ignore my pharmacy generally but I did once rise to it by telling them it would cost the NHS a lot more if I went blind by not having the medication.

um no, its your title not your name.

When you say the correct price is £50, do you mean that is the cost of the drug from the supplier or that you paid £250 but now get exactly the same thing for £50?

What makes you think the pharmacist is disapproving of your prescription? The responsibility lies with the pharmacist regardless of what the doctor has prescribed, if the pharmacist decides you can't have the meds then you can't have them so the very fact you've got them means he/she can't disapprove that much.

It's a private prescription.

Depends whether every single medication that has ever been dispensed for you is or was on a private prescription.

obviously not in scotland then!!!

Have you asked why it's Miss? Is there a Ms option on his printer or are the labels handwritten

I don't understand what you mean by they are openly disapproving of your prescription?

Surely they have seen it all?

What is your definition of overcharged?

Private prescriptions will consist of the drug cost plus a dispensing fee which varies from one pharmacy to the next. The latter is the professional services fee and as I mentioned, will be higher because of the level of risk involved with the medication in question. If you ask for an invoice, it will usually just state what you received and how much you paid without any calculation in my experience

When getting a private prescription, always shop around and ask different pharmacies how much they will charge then go with the one you are happiest with. In your case, I imagine they are ordering it in just for you as it is not something I would expect to see in regular stock so this will also be factored into the cost.

Honestly speaking, the best way to approach is just to vote with your feet if you are not happy with the pharmacy in question. I have done this many times and finally found a local independent that I like and trust

I’m Dr (and also Mrs), I had to complete a form and could only choose Ms or Mx. so I did.

I think you’re massively over thinking this.

It isn't your name, unless your birth certificate has "Ms" as your first name. It's an honorific.

Because it's a private prescription.

At least they have the correct sex

Im Mr on my wage slip - I was born female and I have never in my life identified as male

I'm prepared to bet that the medicine you receive costs a lot more than you pay for it

Why ...can't you get a prepayment certificate for £10 or so a month?
Odd thing to worry about I wouldn't even look if it's my regular meds.

I get pissed off that my prescriptions don’t come with my correct title which is Princess

Talk about first world problems.

Women have been trying since the 80s to get a neutral title that doesn’t indicate marital status. It’s a very reasonable demand. This does matter. The mistake may not be personal tho

You sound like you might be liable to read a bit too much into things.... I doubt they really have an opinion on your medication, I would assume the computer is just reprinting labels rather than there being a repeated desire to offend you. By all means ask them to update their records, but I really don't think this is being done out of spite!!

Can you move to a different pharmacist?
