I'm a lifelong asthmatic and due to my age, I'm a lifelong asthmatic and due to my age, I have developed certain diseases that are common and associated with asthma.
My name's Linda, I'm 71.
And I'm a visual artist, and I still work.
I have a raft of all the usual medications that come with being an asthmatic and regarded as a serious asthmatic as well.
Virtually all my medications are on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and listed as something that I could get a 60-day prescription for.
I'm using up my old scripts that were prior to that, and I'm due to see my GP again shortly, that's when I'll be discussing moving to 60-day prescriptions.
The benefits are going to be that I save money, and also I will save time.
In particular with how many times I see my GP and going to the chemist, and it means I can do other things that are far more interesting.
I think for anybody that's thinking about using the 60-day prescriptions is go and chat to your GP, and see which ones are available, and just go for it.
