The current NHS Prescription Charge is £6.65 - this is how much you pay for each item prescribed regardless of how many tablets there are.
The number you get will be determined by your doctor. If it's a new prescription then typically one or two weeks so your doctor can assess your response. If it's a repeat or long term prescription then longer.
There are many reasons for exemption from charges... http://www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/MedicinesPharmacyAndIndustry/Prescriptions/NHSCosts/fs/en

If they are prescribed by the Doctor thats all you will pay. The amount is at the discretion of the doctor as well as the dosage.
Often doctors keep the amounts quite low to keep an observation on how the patient is using them. Of course this increases the revenue as you have to pay the fee more often but this is a rather sceptical view of affairs.

normally its a months supply as they keep a check on how your doing if you pay for prescription you might be cheaper to get one of those pre paid things works out cheaper
