NHS prescription charges, exemptions and prepayment certificate
Go to the NHS website for the latest prescription charges and exemption criteria
If you know you’ll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions, it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) – effectively a prescription “season ticket”.
Find out more information about the Prescription Prepayment Certificate on the NHS website.
Why can’t I get a prescription for an over-the-counter medicine?
A GP, nurse or pharmacist will generally not give you a prescription for over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor health conditions.
Instead, over-the-counter medicines are available to buy in a pharmacy or supermarket. Your local pharmacy can offer help and advice to manage minor health concerns.
To find out further information go to the NHS website.
