Hi to all forum members!

I have type 2 diabetes and hold a medical exemption certificate. I have been prescribed Viagra before and to date the cost has been covered by my exemption certificate. The other day I went to pick up my repeat prescription and was handed a private prescription requesting £26 for Viagra. Is this right? I do not request Viagra every single month when due for my repeat prescription.

Many thanks, Alan.

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
Are you certain thatr it was on a repeat prescription this time ?

Sometimes these things get removed without you knowing. If this was prescribed by your GP and was issued on an NHS prescription then it should not be on a Private Prescription.

You need to go back to the GP and ask why this has happened. It may just be a genuine mistake. Happens sometimes.
