Highlights from this day
- dublin_dose — the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing 20:14
- sharps_bin_sid — the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me 20:36
- private_script_pri — gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing 21:15
- group_buy_gwen — off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence 21:55

unlicensed isnt illegal
a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
the pharmacy gap in my area lasted about six weeks when i went through it, and it was member reported as nationwide at the time
