Repeat Prescriptions

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) guidelines state that a veterinary surgeon may only prescribe a medicine of the category "Prescription Only Medicine, Veterinarian, [POM-V]" after a clinical assessment of the animal. This means that, by regulation, if your pet has an on-going condition that requires a repeat prescription, then your pet must be checked periodically by a veterinary surgeon.

  At Wrekin View Veterinary Practice, we will need to re-assess pets requiring repeat prescriptions every three to six months, depending on the condition being treated; this period may vary with individual circumstances at the discretion of the Vet. There is normally a charge for this check up, but we offer a lower consultation fee if the check up is routine and straightforward.

  Please make requests for repeat prescriptions at least one working day before collection, as some items may have to be ordered from our suppliers.

 A written prescription for the dispensing of medicines elsewhere can be provided on request; a charge will be made for this service (see below).

  A written prescription will normally be for one month's supply of medication; this prescription can then be repeated monthly at the discretion of the veterinary surgeon until your pet is due for a check up.

The present charge for a Private Written Prescription is £ 13.20  including VAT.
