Only order what you need

• Before you order your repeat prescription please check how much medicine you
have left at home.

• If you still have some of your medicines, only order those you need more of. You
can re-order the others next time.

• Only ordering what you need:

o is safer for you, as medicines can go out of date if kept for too long.

o helps prevent medicine shortages, making medicines available for
everyone.

o helps reduce waste and is better for the environment. If you do have any
unused medicines at home, you can return them to your local pharmacy
for safe disposal.

• Not using some of your medicines? Speak to your GP practice about a
medication review; they can help make sure your prescription is right for you.

• Check your prescription bag before you leave the pharmacy in case it contains
medicines you don’t need. Returning these medicines means they can be used
by another patient.

• Only order what you need to cut waste, prevent shortages, and keep medicines
available for everyone.
