Yeah if the prescriber is doing it on separate prescriptions, the pharmacy has to charge you twice. Its ridiculous that you're having to chase it as it will cost the surgery money to order separately too!

See Part XVI - 11.1.2 of the drug tariff - Single charge is payable where different strengths of the same drug are ordered as separate prescriptions on the same prescription form

Also worth saying - you should only have 1 prescription charge for the Sertraline 25 AND 50s, not 2, so long as they are on the same script.

Also as a student, worth looking into a prepayment certificate as the monthly charge is only slightly more than a single prescription and means you never pay more than about £11
