COVID-19 and your medication – Lisnaskea Medical Centre

There is no need to do anything new or different when ordering or taking your mediation
People should order (online or by leaving tick and post in the postbox outside the practice) and take their medication as normal
Extra supplies should not be ordered
Stockpiling or purchasing medication you don’t need is completely unnecessary and could disadvantage other patients
There are no prescription shortages as a result of COVID-19
If you have any symptoms of COVID19 or are/have been in contact with symptoms self isolate- DON’T attend you community pharmacist
Your community Pharmacist may decide to give you month’s supply even if you script is for 2 or 3 months. This is to ensure they can keep the supply chains open. You can collect the month (s) still outstanding next month.
We will not prescribe reliever inhalers if you don’t have a clinical indication (asthmatic or COPD) or your respiratory condition is totally stable. Again, this is to prevent ‘stock piling’
