If you are given 28 days of tablets and you have 7 days left, order your new prescription.
It is good practice that repeat medication is regularly reviewed so that you get optimum care. Please make note of the review date and make an appointment to see the pharmacist, ensuring all relevant blood tests done before this.
If you are going on holiday, you should take a list of your medication with you. In case you have a problem ensure you have enough medication to cover your holiday.

If you have elderly relatives ensure that they have an adequate supply of their medication.
