Any ideas how I can get my paper prescription made up without going into busy shop?

[Somethingsosimple]

I have a prescription for asthma meds and antidepressants . My local pharmacy was heaving today so I really cannot face going any where to get it made up. Can I post it anywhere to get delivered?

I’m thrilled with Pharmacy2u, thank you! They are posting my DH’s prescription . I can’t even work out why they do it for free??!

Ring the Pharmacy, ask to speak to the head pharmacist.

Explain the situation. I'm sure you could arrange to call them outside the shop at an agreed time so they can pop out and grab your prescription.

They can advise you on the best method of collecting them.

You shouldn't need to be in the pharmacy.

I've just registered with Pharmacy 2U on the above recommendation. But Im not sure how it would work when you've already got the paper prescription. I need to get loads of my husband's meds, and really don't want to be hanging around in a busy chemist.

Pharmacy2U - all online, they get the prescription made up and post it through your door.

Could you call them and say you've got a prescription for X but have underlying health conditions, so could they have the medication on one side to fulfil quickly when you come in with your paper prescription. Then agree a time window when you'll come in?

I dont know if it is possible to post one and get it see but I would not at the moment as it is likely to get buried under a raft of other stuff.
Do you normally use the same chemist each time , can you ring them and ask whet the best thing to so is or email them a scan / photo of your 'scrip.
