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.
