Would anybody know as to the validity of a prescription from the doctor?
I thought it was 14 days for a one off prescription and 6 months for a repeat prescription.
A ' friend of mine ' uses repeat prescriptions to manage a long term disability, yet today he was told that his prescription was invalid as it was older than 14 days.
Has the law changed? If so, does anybody know of a less pernickety pharmacist than the one I just saw, who may overlook such minor details as the law?
If needs must, I, I mean ' my friend', can go and get another prescription from the doctor, but it would be good to know for future reference.
My friend is very grateful for any help.
