1 in 10 prescriptions in Scotland go unused.

When medicine prescriptions aren’t taken, valuable NHS resources are wasted. Reducing waste helps the NHS provide care where it’s needed most. Let’s make every prescription count.

What you can do to help:
• Check what medicines you already have before reordering.
• Only order medicines when you’re down to your last 2 weeks supply.
• Please speak to your GP pharmacy team if your repeat prescription isn’t up to date or if you’re unsure what you should be taking.

By ordering medicines responsibly you’re helping to reduce waste, supporting NHS resources and protecting your own health and the environment.
