Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• Request your repeat prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page
• Email us at tay.comrieprescriptions@nhs.scot 

You can also:

• Call at the surgery in person any time and post your repeat slip through the letterbox or in the box on the Reception desk.
• Send in your repeat slip with a stamped addressed envelope if using a different pharmacy than Davidson's, Comrie.  We aim to process it on the day it is received and will then post it back to you or the pharmacy of your choice. Please allow sufficient time for postage.
• Post your prescription slip in the box held at Davidson's, Comrie. The pharmacist will make sure prescription requests are sent along to the surgery daily.

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• at your GP practice
• at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:

• phone after 10am
• fill in our medication query form.

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Please take to a pharmacy.   We do not accept old medicines at the Practice.

Please do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

• Find a Pharmacy (NHS Inform)

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
