Took a terrible, stupid chance, and got an electronic prescription sent to Boots instead of an independent or remotely competent pharmacy because of late opening hours. What’s the worst that could happen? I thought.

Got two of my meds now, and weirdly they’re branded Lurica and Frisium instead of generic tablets. Why waste so much money?

There was report a while ago- pharmacies are supposed to have 2nd pharmacist check before drugs dispensed, but can skip this if overstretched. Boots interpreted this to mean they can have just one on duty, mistakes resulted inc wrong strength morphine tabs that killed someone

That is absolutely horrendous. The Govt changed some pharmacy regulations to help chemists deal with the stresses of Corona so they wouldn't have to close or deny people meds, but taking advantage of them is unbelievable.

christ i'm sorry. I tried to get a prescription online from them the other day, they make you pay and send the paper prescription in before they check if they can actually fulfil it. Then were a pain in the arse about refunding.

WHAT. That is pathetic. They are just absolutely terrible as basic pharmacists, and none of my tablets are particularly rare, uncommon or unusual, Pregabalin, Clobazam and some eye drops for my nystagmus, and they acted like it was incomprehensible.

Compare this to most of Europe, especially Greece, and you can always find a chemist open and they have the time and knowledge to help
