It depends where you live as I said, otherwise you can get a three monthly prescription a PPC prescription pre paid certificate ). for £30.25 which cover all your meds, cheaper than paying every time you get one, ask at your chemist

Free prescriptions tend to just be for medication/supplies that maintain your life, not your quality of life. So diabetics, cancer patients and people with thyroid insufficiency, etc. Also anyone who has a stoma will get the bags and dressings. Otherwise you have to pay I'm afraid.

Not what you're looking for?
