Motillium. Dr will supply only 25 tabs at a time- VENT

I'm pretty sure there is a government phone advice line for prescribed drugs... but maybe the ABA could point you in the right direction?

Excellent idea. Thankyou

My GP used to prescribe me 100 at a time, the chemist just used to tape 4 boxes together for me and I never had a problem. I just got more at DD's monthly check ups which worked out well.

I just dug through my old prescriptions and found that my GP always prescribed 100 tablets at a time with 2 repeats. No government restrictions that I know of either. Sounds like a PITA to be visiting your GP every four days.

25 is the normal amount for a standard script for motilium...you can have up to five repeats on that so she could give you a script with repeats but she is being a PITA. For larger quantities than 25 at a time at the normal script price you need an authority script which is a phonecall to the government phoneline and they give you a number that goes on the script so you can get larger quanitities at the same price. I get 250 at a time with five repeats. Basically an authority script allows you to get a months supply at the standard script price with five repeats meaning six months of supply, this is the standard for most ongoing medications.

She is just being a PITA and lazy.....my doctor rings for the authority script while I am in the room with him and puts the authority number in the appropriate box on the script and off I go...see ya in another six months type deal....

Are these appointments bulk billed? I hate to think of you paying out every 4 days! Maybe she's using you to get more money from medicare?

[Bathsheba]

I tend to agree with these girls... unless you have an underlying medical condition that she needs to monitor I would think she's just being lazy... BUT then again by having to physically see you every 4 days that would mean she'll have less time for other patients meaning that in theory she should be busier. I really hope you are able to sort this

Bet she is collecting a lot from medicare.....what an easy client you are!

I hope this gets sorted, it's just silly making you go back every 4 days - what is wrong with this woman?
