Information for patients and customers: Don't expect to pick up your script from the pharmacy for at least 5 to 7 days after ordering Don't over order medications - e.g. if you are currently receiving medication at monthly intervals, this should continue - if everyone gets six months supply now, there would be a huge supply problem Don't order medications just in case e.g. inhalers - these should only be requested when there is a clinical need, not as an emergency supply Don't panic buy over the counter items such as paracetamol. There will be enough for everyone if people don't purchase more than they need Don't bulk buy other items such as soap, hand gel, toilet rolls etc
