For those that don't have prepayment certificate.

If you require a prescription, ask the GP to check if its cheaper private.

A lot of medicine is cheaper than NHS charges.

Pre payment certificate is a cheaper way of paying for prescriptions, it costs me around £11.00 a month and I get 9 items a month, it saves me a fortune!

It really pisses me off that people who live in England have to pay for prescriptions yet those in Scotland and Wales get them free. United kingdom? I don't think so!

You can always ask the chemist if you can buy it over the counter, sometimes you can get an alternative that is readily available to the public.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

For things you have regularly also ask your GP if you can get a larger prescription for the item. That saves money too. I get a cream that is only available on prescription and is quite a lot privately but my GP will prescribe four tubes at a time for me.

Devolution of parliaments and budgets mean than Wales and Scotland choose to make prescriptions free.

I generally thought if it's on prescription and available over the counter you got more on prescription? I can get 30 whatever tablets on prescription but can only get 14 over the counter.
