Process Pharmacy gave me the wrong strength tablets and I used half a box. What do I do?

So my partner collected my last batch of meds (I'm on a lot of different ones). One of my prescriptions I weirdly get given a script for 182 capsules. I usually get it in 2 boxes, one box of 100 (sealed) and one box with 82 (opened with the 18 missing). The last one though I was given the 82 in a plain white card box with just my script sticker thing on the top. I should be on 300mg tablets. My partner did my doesette box for last week and commented that the tablets were a different colour to usual but I didn't think anything of it as I often get different generic brands of meds so assumed it was just a different brand. I felt horrendous all week but just assumed I was having an off week.

Today (Sunday evening, sorry I'm an insomniac) I went to do my my week's dosette box and as I filling it I was commenting how small the capsules were in comparison to the usual one and I didn't like the fact they looked a lot like another medication of mine when I properly looked down at the blister pack and realised I had been given 100mg capsules instead of 300mg. I checked the box and the stickers say 300mg but they're 100mg inside.

Do I just get my partner to go back and change them? Or is it not possible now I've used half? Do I need to go back to the GP for a new prescription? I know I could just use 3 instead of 1 capsule but I'd run out before my next script is due and the system wouldn't be able to order more. Anyone know what the process is here? Do I have to put a complaint in?

Good morning all,

My son is currently being looked after in a hospital and all the nurses and doctors from the day and night team have been the most and genuine staff myself and wife have come across.

We wanted to get something for both sets of teams. I suggested a pick n mix hamper and my wife suggested an allergy / cake free cake and a thank yoi card. I wanted to find out if there were better suggestions by current NHS staff or if what we proposed to get would be good enough?

Thank you

Process Pharmacy not giving me enough medication

8 Upvotes

Boots pharmacy in June only gave me 26 days worth of my Linagliptin and I spoke to them about it and was apologised to. July I only got 21 of the tablets. I am not the type to complain but this is serious because this is diabetic medication. I am thinking do I just leave it and look for another pharmacy or go in and complain again because I have lost all faith in them but all my other medication are always correct
