If you have run out of medication, visit your local pharmacy (chemist), or any other pharmacy if your local pharmacy is shut. You can find your nearest pharmacy (chemist) on this site.The pharmacist (chemist) may be able to help you, depending on the type of medication you require. If they are unable to help you, they will either offer you self care advise or advise how you can get a prescription.

If you have run out of methadone or any other substitution therapy then you need to wait until your own GP or the pharmacy (chemsit) you normally attend is open again.

NHS 24 can't prescribe new medicine over the phone and we do not deliver medicine to your home.
