I read your story this morning on the wrong dosage of that ladies prescription. I had a similar experience last week, normally go into the cricklade road pharmacy at the end of the road. But for the first time I put into the surgery a repeat prescription for my 7 month old daughter who is on Ranitidine as she suffers from silent reflux and has been since 3 months old.

The pharmacist there informed me that he only had 200 ml not 300 ml that was authorised in the prescription. I said that wasn't a problem as she only has 0.6 ml 3 times a day and it's only live for a month and then you need a new bottle (so a lot of it wasted)

Anyway to cut a long story short i went home and thought nothing of it until a couple of days later when I went to change over bottles. Opened it and the seal had already been broken!

Rang them and explained and they offered to swap it over but again poured out 200 ml out of the equivalent bottle I would have got from the pharmacy on Cricklade Road and put it in an unsealed one (which I witnessed) Having not had to use the pharmacy much in my lifetime I thought it was odd but you put trust in these people especially when it's within your own surgery.

My daughters 7 months old, that original bottle could have had anything in it for all I know and I suppose I'm still trusting now that what I have is what it says it is? How are they trading like this? I will never go there again. Utter cowboys.
