Sadly I also have a number of different medications. My surgery has on-line ordering which I use and over the last few years have built up a small buffer stock at home (a few weeks, not several months).
This means that perhaps once a month I order online and then collect direct frrom chemist 3 or 4 days later. I don't have to worry about running out, rather more critical right now with movements somewhat restricted.
For patients with long term conditions, I do not understand why they only issue a month at a time. It creates more work for the doctor, and more for the chemist. In principle it should not make any difference to the total cost of drugs dispensed if they were issued 3 monthly. I can only assume the doctor is doing the chemist a favour if the chemist income is (partly) related to the number of prescriptions processed.
