Report
Karen Carter pharmacy went above and beyond my expectations to help me obtain a new repeat of my script when it ran out while waiting for my Doctor to send my new repeated script through to continue my prescription. I couldn't thankyou enough for the support and effort so I wouldn't miss a day of my medication.
