Repeat Prescriptions

Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.

For repeat prescriptions call 09 444 4244 and press 1 and provide the necessary details asked for. You will be notified if a consultation is required, otherwise your prescription will be available for collection after two working days from reception.

Please Note:  An additional surcharge applies for prescriptions that need to be faxed to a pharmacy of your choice.
