Prescription Quantity

[medhead]

Hi all,

I’ve been prescribed vitamin b12, vitamin d, and iron supplements.

I’ve been given 100 vit d and the instructions says to take two per day for 10 weeks and then reduce to one a day. That’s not adding for me…

The iron says take 3 times a day for 3 months. Been given 84.

Is this normal? Do they not usually give you enough for the duration?

Thanks!

Just a months worth on prescription…..then put in for a repeat

Agree, normally get 1 month, or forward long term maybe 2 months.

Sorry, I should have said, they’ve given me the exact amount for the b12

I don’t remember odd amounts last time around. Just had to go back for new blood tests when they were finished

The vit d will last me 50 days

The iron will last me 28 days

The b12 will last me the stated 3 months

What a total faff!
