Repeat Prescriptions - best done 'on-line' 

If you are prescribed regular medicines your Doctor will usually arrange for you to receive these regularly as a 'repeat prescription'.

To avoid mistakes; sorry, but we do not accept requests for prescriptions over the telephone.

  • Because they are potentially addictive we will not prescribe tranquillisers such as Diazepam, Temazepam, Zopiclone and Zolpidem on repeat prescription.
  • Antibiotics will also not usually be given as a repeat prescription.

Please see a Doctor if you feel you might need these items.

Repeat Dispensing:  Lantern Surgery has a 28 day prescribing policy but if you are on a regular  monthly prescriptions it can be prescribed on a 4 - 6 monthly basis.  This is lodged with a local chemist (Repeat Dispensing) and can be collected once a month from the pharmacy.
