⏰ DON'T FORGET TO COLLECT YOUR MEDS ⏰

If you're one of our regular patients and have received a text message over the last few days, please collect your medication in the next 3 working days.

It's important to collect your prescription medication as prescribed to avoid disrupting your treatment plan and worsening your condition.

Here are some things to consider:

Not collecting your medication can make your symptoms worse and delay treatment for others.

Healthcare professionals use your medication to monitor the effectiveness of your treatment.

Prescribing medication uses healthcare resources, so not collecting it can be a waste.

Please collect your meds on time and help us to ensure the continuity of your treatment.
