unrelated but i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024

ring more pharmacies
snapshot not fact
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
bea_reconstitutesunrelated but i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were…
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait, from memory
the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it, thats just me

supply was upstream
update from 1 months ago: my clinic price went up by $240 and the supply steadied in the same month
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this

bea_reconstitutesthe tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder…
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
right so i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
just a letter
private clinic quoted me $72 a month, is that about right or am i being had
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
ireland is separate
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
the private quotes i collected last spring ran from about 130 to about 250 a month depending on dose, and that will have moved since
i paid $185 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
slightly off topic but pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost 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
northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current
unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved

is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
that was last year

how much do the online clinics actually check
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
update on the earlier thing the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter
