Some medicines require regular blood tests, blood-pressure checks or clinical reviews to be issued safely.

We may be unable to continue issuing a medicine safely if required monitoring is overdue. If we contact you about a review, please arrange it as soon as you can.

Questions about medication, side effects or problems obtaining a prescription can be sent to us online.
