Only order the medicines you need

Help us reduce medicines waste.

Before ordering your repeat prescription, please take a moment to check what medicines you already have at home.

  • Check your supplies before requesting a repeat prescription.
  • Order only what you need rather than selecting every item on your repeat list automatically.
  • Tell us if you have stopped taking a medicine or regularly have unused supplies, so we can review this with you.
  • Speak to your GP practice or pharmacist if you are unsure whether you need a medicine.

Unnecessary medicines waste costs the NHS money, uses valuable resources and can harm the environment.

Important: Continue taking your medicines as prescribed unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise. Do not stop or change your treatment simply to reduce waste.

Thank you for helping us make better use of NHS resources.
