my PRESCRIPTION and BOYFRIEND

Hiya, i have to collect some microgynon this friday because i was told it would take a week to arrive at the chemist, on firday it will be a wek but thing is i need to take it on that day for obvious reasons and i am worried because i dont finish college until 5 and they shut at 5 so my boyfriend said hell go and collect them for me but would they give them to him if they have my name and address on? because last time this woman asked me for my address then she gave them to me? but this time it was a trainee and when she said to wait a week i was like OMG because everytime i have been given them wihin 10 minutes what should i do? i cant take day off college because it is for a new project briefing grr xxxx

I don't actually know but I wouldn't think so...if anything, get a girl to go and get it, at least she can pretend to be you then, haha. Can't you go at lunch or something?

they just ask for your address if they are pescribed by your doctor. therefore there should'nt be a problem , my mum has picked mine up before.

My boyfriend picked up my last microgynon prescription for me in the summer, absolutely no problem. All they asked was my address.

btw, if you have never taken it before you cant just take it that evening and you will be safe.

You have to start the first day of your cycle.

(sorry if you know this, i just don't want to be worried about you lol)

Actually, no you don't. Technically you should be ok starting it anytime, so long as you use extra precautions for the first 7 days of taking it.

He should be able to pick it up for you. He would have to confirm the name and address though. Lots of people I have served, have had people come to collect it from them.

And a normal chemist should have plenty of stock of that pill lol.

There should be no problem. There is a box to tick on the prescription form to say whether you are the patient or a representative - obviously lots of people are unable to pick things up from the pharmacy in person because they are ill, so I don't see why it'd be any different in your case!

Can't you go to another chemist and get it?

Probably not as her prescription would be at that chemist, so she cant just go into a different pharmacy and ask for it. It would have been an option when she first went - assuming theres more than one pharmacy where she lives!
