Check your repeat prescription ahead of the Easter holiday weekend

NHS 24 is reminding people to check their repeat prescription ahead of the Easter holiday weekend.

Easter falls between Friday 19th April and Monday 22nd April and many GP surgeries may be closed during this period.

Encouraging people to Be Health-Wise this Easter, NHS 24’s Head of Pharmacy, John McAnaw said: “Don’t leave it to the last minute to order and pick up a repeat prescription if you need it. Check what you have first, and order only what you need remembering to collect it in plenty of time.

“It’s also a good idea to have some self-care remedies to help treat common spring illnesses at home – things like paracetamol, ibuprofen and indigestion remedies. Your local pharmacist can give advice if you need it.”
