I put prescription in for normal BP and Allergy tablets and on two occasions I wasn’t given any notice that a doctor had stopped my allergy tablets. Thinking this was a mistake i had to physically go and ask reception what was happening only to then be told i cant have them. Doctor has stopped these for everyone. Now if this was through a funding crisis, fine i am all there to support however not to be given notice was inconsiderate. Since then I haven’t been able to get them in Boots, Tescos and Morrisons all local to me. Totally out of stock everywhere it seems. Fortunately i am only 69 years young this year so am able to get about to search for these tablets especially so as i am currently self medicating through one of my worst periods of allergies ever. To the point that i am having to take tablets more like every 18 hours as opposed to the recommended 24hours, its that or i cant sleep or get through the day without constant sneezing. I try very hard not to bother the doctors, over potential self medicating symptoms but would have appreciated a heads up on this and now wonder if at any time my BP tablets will get stopped. So luckily as i am active unlike others that this has possibly happened to I can now pop off to Chelmsford to see if they have any. Apart from this i would have said my surgery was great.
