You are a GP registrar. The pharmacist forwards a repeat prescription request for you to review. The request is from a 58-year-old man who has been taking amitriptyline for three years as part of the management of his diabetic neuropathy, and the medication has been authorised as a repeat. You notice that on the basis of when the previous six month supply was issued that this request is two months early.
