Information for patients who are prescribed pregabalin and gabapentin
The government has reclassified pregabalin and gabapentin as controlled drugs. This means we can now only prescribe a maximum of one months supply of medication at a time and the prescription must be used within 28 days of the prescription date.
If you currently receive medication on a two monthly basis your pregabalin/gabapentin will now be monthly. If you would like us to switch all your medication to monthly to allow you to order all the medication at the same time please let us know. Please also let us know if your current dose does not match that on the prescription.

Supply of Medicines
The Government with NHS England has plans in place to ensure a continued supply of medicines to patients from the moment we leave the EU. Their advice is that patients will not need to and should not seek to store additional medicines at home.
We will be following advice from them regarding medications.

From time to time, some medicines do become unavailable/out of stock and for all sorts of reasons. Your GP will not necessarily know at the time of prescribing if the medication will be available from your chosen pharmacy. If an item is out of stock your pharmacy will let you know and will be able to discuss your options with you. If necessary they will inform us of any suitable alternative that your doctor may be able to prescribe instead.
