Repeat prescription form

Important information: We’re aware there are national shortages of some ADHD medications. This is a changing situation; therefore some drugs may go out of stock after we have prescribed your medication. We are working hard to ensure we continue to supply your medication. If you can’t obtain methylphenidate or lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse) and your child can take a break off the medication, then please do so. Please DO NOT take breaks from Guanfacine (Intuniv) and Atomoxetine.

The latest issues are with Methylphenidate 12 hour release preparations.This includes Concerta, Xaggitin, Xenidate, Delmosart, Affenid and Matoride.

These are likely to be out of stock for several months. We will update this time frame as soon as we know anything more specific.

BEFORE submitting this request if your child is normally taking Methylphenidate 12 hour release preparations.This includes Concerta, Xaggitin, Xenidate, Delmosart, Affenid and Matoride.

You may choose to check with community pharmacies to see if they have this stock available in store.

• If they do, please continue to submit the request and let us know in the ‘additional information section’ that you have confirmed the pharmacy has stock of this medication and a prescription will be issued.
• If they do not, and your child is able to take a break from this medication please do so.
• If they do not and are unable to take a break, please submit the request but note we will issue a prescription for an alternative medication and a letter to explain any changes.

Only medications managed by the Developmental Paediatric team can be ordered using this form. If you need to order other medications managed by other specialties, speak to your clinician’s PCO.

Please contact your clinical team to discuss future prescriptions.

Unfortunately we will not be able to process your order if we receive it, please order when your child has 3 weeks of medication left.

Please complete this form to request your child’s medication. Complete as much of the information as accurately as possible. A delay will be caused if we need to clarify this information. We aim to send out your prescription to your requested location within 3 weeks of making the request.

Please select the medications your child is prescribed. If it is not listed, please select ‘other’ and specify what this is.

Please note: If your child is on any other forms of melatonin which are not slenyto or circadin, the medication will be prepared by our in house pharmacy and sent directly to your home address. This usually takes longer and will be sent separately to any other medication requested.
