How can you get a repeat of ur prescription?

Hi basically these birth control pills were for my PCOS and pain/heavy periods and I would like to get another prescription but it says its short term/acute medication as it was a trial for me as the first pill never worked.
Would I need to see my GP again for a repeat or can I just phone the actual receptionist and they can repeat my prescription?

That depends on whether your GP wants to see you again to discuss the effectiveness of the treatment before prescribing them again. Your best bet is to phone and ask.
