right so the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter
ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect

nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence

cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision

i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out
coming back after 22 months, is the nhs picture any better
