That's it really! I miscalculated how many evorel patches I had left when I made a gp appt for review hence I'm due to change patch tomorrow and have none left. I get terrible symptoms if I don't have my HRT and can't last till 31/3 without them, I was wondering if I can just ask my pharmacy to give me one box to tide me over? I'm in Wales so we don't pay for HRT but it is a regular prescription.

  • changes can be scary, even when we want them

Ring the Surgery and explain - they should be able to issue U a prescription although the Welsh HA operate differently to ours in England.

The system we have is I order my repeat prescription online and there is a space if I want to leave a message, that's what I would do in your situation.
Otherwise your only option is to explain to the pharmacist or put a prescription slip in at the surgery with an explanation.

Thank you both, I've just remembered I have another repeat prescription to collect from pharmacy tomorrow I'll pop into gp surgery which is next door to the pharmacy. it's an absolute nightmare trying to get through on the phone, easier to explain to reception in person.
