Questions about Your Prescription

Your local pharmacist can answer questions about your medicines, including 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 common questions. Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk).

If you would like to speak to someone at the surgery about your prescription, please speak to reception, who will pass your request to the right person.

Returning unwanted medicines

Please do not order medicines that you do not take regularly. This helps save the NHS millions of pounds. If you have stopped taking a medicine, please return it to the pharmacy that dispensed it or to the dispensary at the surgery.

Our dispensary

The Silton Surgery is a dispensing practice. This means that patients who live more than 1 mile from a pharmacy can collect their medicines directly from the surgery.
