The GP, Nurse or Practice Pharmacist will not generally give you prescriptions for over the counter medicines for a range of minor health concerns. Instead, over the counter medicines are available to buy in a pharmacy or supermarket in your local community. The team of local health professionals at your local pharmacy can also offer help and clinical advice to manage minor health concerns and if your symptoms suggest it's more serious, they'll ensure that you get the care you need.
