Reviewing Your Drugs

Every few months the doctor may ask you to make an appointment to review your prescription. This is to ensure that the medication you have have been prescribed are still appropriate for you and to ensure that any tests you need are carried out such as blood pressure and blood tests. It is important that you attend these reviews otherwise we may not be able to continue to prescribe your medication.

When Medicines Cause Problems

If you experience any of the following problems, don’t delay – talk to your doctor or pharmacist straight away:

• If you have taken too much of any medicine
• If you have an allergic reaction to a new medicine (such as wheezing, rash, swelling or fainting)
• If you notice a serious side affect or unusual symptoms
• If you notice your health is getting worse.

You can request to speak to a doctor about a medicine problem by telephone the surgery on (01670) 822695 and asking the Receptionist for a Telephone Advice Appointment.
