    :o I'm usually very careful about where I put it so I have no idea what happened it. I can only imagine that it went in the bin by accident. It was a 3 month one with 2 months left on it. Can doctors issue replacements? There was a strong painkiller on it amongst other medication so I'm worried the doc will think I'm some sort of junkie chancer :pac: My OH used to work in a chemist and he reckons it'll be fine that there is a system in place that the doctor can tell that the prescription wasn't filled but I'm still worried.

    Ask your pharmacist/GP what to do.

    There's no such system.

    As Bleg says, talk to your pharmacist.
