Logan5 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Been on ssri’s for 20 years, and because of other health issues now need 3 items every 2 months roughly. i could use a yearly prescription cert I guess but wonder if my ocd meds should be free anyway?

Captain Trips Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I wish they were free in England. My mate gets his insulin for free so why shouldn't we get our meds for free? In Wales all prescriptions are currently free which is good, not sure about Scotland. Link to comment

I only know because my family live there Link to comment
daja Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think if you are a student they are free. Also you can get an NHS prepayment certificate: Quote There are 2 PPC options to choose from: a 3-month PPC costs £29.65 and will save you money if you need more than 3 prescribed items in 3 months. a 12-month PPC costs £105.90 and will save you money if you need more than 11 prescribed items in a year.
