[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2516554, member: 196898"] One problem that might be in play here. When a pharmacy receives your scrip, they order the medications etc from their supplier. Once meds are despatched then they become non retunable so the pharmacy will get stuck with them if you do not get the meds. So if you go into hospital or on holiday or move house or GP practice, or do not pick up for another reason then they cannot claim the cost from the GP. It is risk reduction. One of my meds is fairly rare and explicit to me, and costs £500 a month so not a trivial buden. Recently my consultant doubled the dose, then changed his mind, and I have an expensive box of pills on my mantlepiece. The pharmacy cannot accept them back, and I cannot put them in the landfill. They have to be destroyed clinically, [/QUOTE]
