Prescriptions will be sent to your nominated pharmacy within 48 hours (2 working days) after ordering. Please speak to your nominated pharmacy on how long it takes them to dispense the medication once recieved from the surgery 

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
