Acute Prescription
One-off prescriptions which are not regularly repeated are known as 'acute' prescriptions.

If you feel it is more appropriate to see the doctor, or if the pharmacist advices you to make a GP appointment, your doctor may prescribe, refer you to another health care professional - or may decide to offer no prescription at all.
