Medication Changes: Information for Patients

People have contacted Healthwatch County Durham with concerns about recent changes to their medications, including reductions in long‑term prescriptions. Common themes include; Why has my medication been reduced? Why has my medication been changed? Why does my medication look different? Why can I no longer get my usual medication?

To help patients understand some of these reasons behind changes to prescriptions and what communication they should expect to have with healthcare professionals, we've produced an overview booklet to help you become better informed.
