If you are on a long term repeat prescription, you should have a medication review at least once a year.
This is for your safety to ensure the medication is clinically appropriate for your needs.
You will need to be seen by a GP and any repeat prescriptions may well be withheld until that medication review has taken place.
Alternatively, you may be issued with a short term temporary prescription to cover your short term needs prior to the medication review taking place.
