i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that

ireland is separate

what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now
ring more pharmacies
🧊2✅1🤝8
prices have moved since
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy, take that with a pinch of salt
scotland differs
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee, for what its worth
[edited]cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision
sorry to jump in 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
did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
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
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
