Scripts in the UK are either £7.20 per item or free, if you have an exemption from charges. The actual cost of the medication is paid for by the NHS.
A script for a month's supply of escitalopram would be £7.20, a script for 6 months's supply would be £7.20, a script for a drug which actually costs £1000 would be £7.20. A script for a drug which actually costs £0.20 would be £7.20. Most people have an exemption though, so pay nothing at all.
