#uk-ireland 2025-06-12

while im here the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention

genuine question i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them

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

Batch lookup B-0329: 2 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-01-21.

is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing

that was 2024

check, dont trust me

did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end

whats the cheapest legitimate private route people have found in the uk

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

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

nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england

ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect

driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it

how much do the online clinics actually check
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

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, still working it out

what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route

wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand

what does unlicensed actually mean when the mhra uses the word

the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing

scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait

for the archive has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this

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

the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter

anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england

that was last year

snapshot not fact

a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
