Improved price concession for Metformin 500mg modified-release tablets for September 2024
Following representations made by Community Pharmacy England on behalf of community pharmacy owners, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has redetermined the September 2024 concessionary price for Metformin 500mg modified-release tablets:
| Drug | Pack size | Price concession |
| Metformin 500mg modified-release tablets | 56 | £3.26 (previously £2.00) |
The improved price will apply to prescriptions submitted for payment for the dispensing month of September 2024.
Please note: These price does not apply to October 2024 prescriptions as we are still working with DHSC to agree price concessions for October. The first update for this month will be published as soon as we receive a response from the Department.

No additional endorsements are required for price concessions. A price concession only applies for the month it is granted; any prices agreed for concessions requested late in the month will roll over into the following month.
