My surgery will only give 1 month supply at a time except in special circumstances. If I am ordering early/extra I add a comment to the online form.
Mine are automatically sent to Tesco for dispensing. It used to take a couple of days but the last few times I have had the text from Tesco to say they are ready late ion the same day as the request went it.
Maybe twice in the last year Tesco didn't have the prescribed smaller size of a cream which I intermittently need. Both times they simply gave me the (much) larger size... Also I got some gout tablets and they gave me a small bottle full instead of the 6 which I normally get but that was a mistake on the prescription.
As an aside, I recently saw the locum for something and he reviewed my drugs and was surprised I have been ion Omeprazole for many years. He recommended against it due to side effects and interactions, which I then read about, and as result I'm trying to wean myself off it but it would be good to get something else to relieve the symptoms (quite severe reflux).
