I stopped using the repeat prescription by placing it with a pharmacy to collect it bout 1 year ago. There were too many problems where the pharmacy hadn't done the prescription and didn't bother to notify me so I decided to place the prescription through the GP surgery using the repeat prescription in the surgery letterbox and collect the prescription in person and take it to whatever pharmacy I fancied. By doing this, I can check straight away as to whether I have got the correct meds and if not, it gets sorted straight away. I order just one 3ml pen cartridge every 2 years to use as a standby if my pump malfunctions.
