As you may have heard mention on the news, NHS England has brought out new guidance for GPs on what they can and what they can’t prescribe. Several medications available over the counter are in principle no longer available as a NHS prescription. This means, you will need to buy this medication yourself, either at the pharmacy or at the supermarket. If you would like to read the full Barnsley Self-Care Guidance which contains further details on this, you can find that information here: http://best.barnsleyccg.nhs.uk/clinical-support/medicines/prescribing-guidelines/Self_Care_Guidance.pdf
