I didn't pick up my prescription before the health centre closed, do i have to wait until monday?

[dragonbutter]

it was antibiotics and a steroid inhaler.

i had hoped to get the antibiotics started so i could be fit for work on monday, but i fell asleep for too long this afternoon because i feel so cruddy and woke up after the practise closed.

what are my options?

TIA

anybody??? please i need practical advice.

A and E? NHS direct will be able to help you.

Our HC has (or used to have) a Sat morning session - does yours?

Ring the normal number in the morning & see what options they offer you.

Or if that's no good try NHS Direct?

i've checked the hc website and they don't open on a saturday.

the out of hours doc might be able to help in the morning but they are based miles away, lots of roads have been closed today in that direction. can they fax a prescription to a closer pharmacy?

Why not phone your local hospital tomorrow?

ok, i'll try to get some sleep tonight at sort it out in the morning.

thanks

thankyou all.
i called the out of hours doc who faxed a new prescription to my local pharmacy and i picked it up this morning.

just need it all to start working now.

Glad you got sorted
