Prescribing of over the counter medicine is changing

Your GP, nurse or Pharmacist will not generally give you a prescription for over the counter medicines for a range of minor health concerns.

Instead, over the counter medicines are available to buy in a pharmacy or supermarket in your local community.

Please help the NHS to use resources sensibly. Please see the link below of all items that are available over the counter to buy in pharmacies and supermarkets.
