‘ Just in Case ‘ medicines

What are ‘Just in Case’ medicines?

Also known as ‘anticipatory medicines’, these are medicines which are usually given by injection and are prescribed for you. They are given to you to be kept in your home ‘just in case’ you need them. This means you can be given a medicine to help relieve pain or other symptoms if you need it, especially during the night or at the weekend.
