Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Recon calculator: 30mg in 0.5ml = 2mg/ml. 21:57
- meal_prep_mick — when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment 22:09
- belfast_bac — the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention 22:58
- maintenance_mo — update from 12 months ago: my clinic price went up by £94 and the supply steadied in the same month 23:28
the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing
as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight
[edited]prices have moved since

off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence, i think
the mhra publishes supply notices. whether your pharmacy has read them is an entirely separate matter
snapshot not fact

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

ring more pharmacies
scotland differs
check, dont trust me
sorry to jump in did anyone get a tier 3 referral without a bmi over 35
update on the earlier thing did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
right so the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
[edited]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

vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
