Additional folic acid

i’ve had the exact same info today. the midwife told me she was sending the prescription to my gp so maybe contact them on monday to check they got it then collect from chosen pharmacy x

Problem is I can’t call my GP I have to do a bloody E-consult and it just feels silly to do that 🤣🙈 but I suppose I’ll have to! Thankyou lovely! There was so much information I couldn’t remember exactly what was said!

Oh I just ended up ordering the 5mg from an online pharmacy, I had to pay but they arrived next day 🙂

@Megan I’m taking advantage of the free prescriptions whilst I can🤣 no I’m kidding, I have a couple other things that she’s asked me to start taking via prescriptions aswell so want to make sure I get it x

@Maddie yer you may as well, I knew I would be on them again as this is my second and they recommend taking it while trying to conceive so I wasn’t able to get it for free at the time 😄

Hi, mine sent the prescription directly to my usual pharmacy, maybe worth checking with them.

If you have an assigned pharmacy it’s probably there waiting for you, mine was.

@Toni I don’t have an assigned pharmacy my GP group is part of 4 surgeries and I get sent to a different one each time 🙈 I’ll try s couple and see what happens! Thankyou x

If you use NHS App, have you checked there? I could see my prescription under view and manage prescriptions > approved prescriptions. If I see it there, I know it will be at my pharmacy in a couple of days, usually.

For anyone else wondering, apparently the new forms sent by the midwife are 12 pages long as opposed to the one page with actions to take previously so my GP said prescriptions are being missed all the time now so definitely worth chasing if your waiting!
