If you pay for your prescriptions there is a charge for each item on the prescription, unless they are for the same medication i.e citalopram 10mg and citalopram 20mg tablets. At the moment this charge is £9.35 per item in England.
If you are prescribed more than 10 items a year, or 3 items in one go, it will be cheaper for you to get a prepayment certificate.
A prepayment certificate costs(PPC):
£30.25 for 3 months
£108.10 for 12 months (the cost can be spread over 10 months)
The quickest way to buy a PPC is to buy it online, it takes 2 minutes and can be used straight away.
