You could save money by buying an NHS Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC). Rather than paying £9.90 for each prescription item, the three and 12-month PPC covers unlimited NHS prescriptions. This offers savings for those who need four or more items in three months, or 12 or more items in 12 months.
The NHS Hormone Replacement Therapy Prescription Prepayment Certificate (HRT PPC), covers all listed HRT medicines for 12 months. Saving you money if they pay three or more HRT prescription charges in 12 months.
