PHARMACY LEADERS WANT TO BE ABLE TO OFFER SUBSTITUTIONS WHEN MEDICINES NOT AVAILABLE

PHARMACY leaders have called for action to prevent holdups which can occur when medicines are out of stock.

Pharmacists do not currently have the power to alter a prescription. For instance, pharmacists are prohibited from supplying tablets rather than capsules, or two 10mg tablets in place of one 20mg tablet. This can leave patients travelling from pharmacy to pharmacy to get their prescription, or having to go back to the GP to get a new prescription to match the medication available in a pharmacy.
