Your health changes, so should your review.
Medicines need regular review to make sure they still work, the dose is right, and nothing has changed with your health or other medicines. That is why repeat scripts at Aberdeen Surgery are provided with a consultation.
Many reviews can be done by telehealth if you have been seen in person recently.
