Over‑the‑counter medicines Posted or Updated on 23 Feb 2024

Your GP won’t usually prescribe medicines that can be bought over-the-counter for minor health concerns

You can always get the advice and medicines you need from your local pharmacy without an appointment.

Healthcare professionals at your local pharmacy can offer help and clinical advice to manage minor health concerns. If your symptoms suggest it’s more serious they’ll ensure you get the care you need.
