What is a private prescription?

It’s a special prescription that’s issued by your doctor, usually after a private consultation. If you’re written a private prescription then you’ll need to pay for the actual costs of the drugs you’ve been prescribed.

Prestbury Village Pharmacy is happy to dispense private prescriptions. The price will depend on the cost of your medication and the quantity you’ve been prescribed, but our pharmacy team will be happy to calculate the cost for you – just ask. A minimum charge of £4.99 applies to all prescriptions.
