is there a limit? I just need the same tablets (for allergies) i've been prescribed for a couple of years but had 6 months where I didn't need them. Now i do need them again :(

I have emailed but would i be expected to go and see a dr again, i really can't miss any work as new job.

Depends if they’re on your “repeat” list at the surgery. If not you might need an appointment.

Call the surgery, I'm sure it will be fine.

Most surgeries offer evening appointments once a week. What’s the mediation? You can get cetirizine and loratadine very cheaply in Poundland etc (don’t buy from
Boots!) that might plug the gap.

Are you able to buy them over the counter in the meantime?

Ah, no you can't unfortunately.

Give the surgery a call in the morning, and theyll be able to tell you if you can order it Smile (from memory I think you need an appointment if ntnordered in a year...but don't quote me on that as different policies for different surgeries!)
