A prescription is valid for either 12 months (unless a shorter date is specified by your vet) or until all of the repeats on the prescription are used up, whatever comes first.

A prescription is valid for either 12 months (unless a shorter date is specified by your vet) or until all of the repeats on the prescription are used up, whatever comes first.

If your vet has not included repeats, or has specified “no repeats”, then the prescription is valid for one supply only and we will need a new prescription for your next order.
