Just note that some chemists will not fill more than one ‘dose’ (eg a month) of medication unless you have a letter authorising them to do so from your doctor. My local chemist had always been helpful (for holidays, for example) but a different chemist was quite adamant. Legally he is correct. Many chemists will do it if they know the customer well but technically they are not supposed to. No problem if the chemist will hold a supply for you but if for any reason people want to hold a few extra weeks supply at home, get your GP to authorise it in writing.
