[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1946182, member: 338121"] I like to have at least one box of five cartridges in reserve, in case there is a problem with the prescription or the pharmacy. Only on two occasions have I really 'stockpiled', when moving and changing GPs, as getting new prescriptions set up can be a nightmare, particularly if the GP in question is uncooperative. The major downside to excessive stockpiling, other than the obvious shortages elsewhere, is that if something were to happen, for instance an overexcited fridge freezing everything, you could end up losing lots and lots, rather than only a few cartridges worth, which is a lot of money down the drain for the NHS. And if everyone else has been stockpiling too, then you might struggle to replace it! [/QUOTE]
