private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
that was 2024
*that should say weekly
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
private clinic quoted me €38 a month, is that about right or am i being had
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
update from 14 months ago: my clinic price went up by €55 and the supply steadied in the same month, your mileage will differ
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight, not advice obviously
mine was 18 months
right so the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
northern ireland has two sets of rules doesnt it, how does that work in practice
member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england
ni has its own rules
nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
scotland differs
ireland is separate
[edited]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
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
just a letter
the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing
check, dont trust me
i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that, i could be wrong
unlicensed isnt illegal
prices have moved since
[edited]everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it, anyway
Assay note: QYB lot A-2601 reported at 96.8% of label content.
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
Purity check: no report on file for lot C-4402. Nothing logged either way.
supply was upstream
off label is different
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
anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
